Yeah, they are all ANCA-associated vasculites. They do differ in how they way they harm us, although like MPA and GPA can both affect the kidney. The markers are different even though they are all ANCA-associated, like we use PR3 for weggies. I heard that practically 100% of the people with EGPA have astma. But yeah, tons of resources online so fairly easy to read up on the different vasculites. Was actually at a seminar yesterday where they described the differences for those three different ANCA vasculites, but can't remember all the details.
