Özet
Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis is one of the rare complications of propyl-thiouracil treatment. Having a variable clinical spectrum, it may be presented with both skin limited vasculitis and life-threatening systemic vasculitis. In this study, we present a case that developed ANCA-positive vascu-litis with skin and kidney involvement (hematuria and proteinuria) six months after propylthiouracil treatment was initiated for toxic nodular goiter. Proteinuria recovered dramatically subsequent to radioactive iodine treat-ment following ceasing the drug.
