Low-complement urticarial vasculitis can cause severe respiratory and kidney problems. This case highlights rapid respiratory decline, even without emphysema, emphasizing the condition's life-threatening nature.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Nephrology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Low-complement urticarial vasculitis is a rare autoimmune condition.
  • It is characterized by urticaria, glomerulonephritis, and respiratory issues.
  • Presence of anti-C1q antibodies is a key diagnostic marker.

Observation:

  • A 34-year-old woman presented with urticaria, purpura, and acute kidney injury.
  • She also had bronchial obstruction with bronchiectasis and low complement levels.
  • Anti-C1q antibodies were detected, while anti-DNA antibodies were negative.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced rapid deterioration of respiratory and renal function.
  • Despite corticosteroid treatment, her condition worsened, leading to death within 4 months.

  • Unusually, radiodetectable emphysema was absent, but bronchiectasis was present.

    • Implications:

    • Bronchial obstruction in this vasculitis is often fatal.
    • This case underscores the potential for rapid respiratory failure.
    • The absence of emphysema and presence of bronchiectasis present atypical features.
