Widespread complex of immune diseases. GPA mainly affects the upper and lower respiratory tracts and kidneys, but it can also cause damage to multiple organ systems. The classic clinical triad of the so-called GPA includes sinusitis, pneumonia and glomerulonephritis. GPA patients have a high risk of death and can cause sudden death. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely treatment are very important.
