BACKGROUND Mortality of patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is higher than the general population. There are few papers in the literature regarding the factors associated with this unfavorable outcome, most of them in the eastern population or from nephrology centers. To date, there is no study with this approach in Latin-American patients, a miscegenated population. Our objective was to identify clinical and laboratory features associated with mortality in Latin-American patients with AAV.
