In this thesis disease activity in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) was explored. Part I focused on prediction and occurrence of relapses in AAV. Subsequently, part II of the thesis studied renal production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) in AAV in relation to disease activity and damage.
