Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA)

Every 6 months, we ask our VPPRN community to check-in and tell us how they are doing.  The graphs below reflect the scores/ratings of patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) compared to the Network as a whole.  Here is what we learned about flaresfatiguepainsymptoms of vasculitis, and members’ current state of vasculitis at the January 2025 check-in:

    • Compared to patients with other forms of vasculitis, patients with GPA reported the following:
      • less reported flares
      • similar scores for fatigue
      • similar scores/ratings for their symptoms of vasculitis over the past 28 days
      • similar scores for pain
      • a higher percentage of patients with GPA reported their vasculitis in remission (this is a change from the scores we saw at the July 2024 check-in where the rates among patients with GPA and the VPPRN community were similar)

If you have concerns about your health scores, please discuss with your rheumatologist or primary care provider.
