Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is usually a multisystem disorder,and pulmonary renal syndrome is a common presentation.Patients with AAV are less likely to experience relapse when they progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD).We report a rare case of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) in relapsing AAV after eight years of haemodialysis.A 58-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaints of dyspnea and hemoptysis accompanied by anemia,fever,fatigue,and weight loss.She had elevated anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) titer.The computer tomoghraphy showed diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.After the recurrent episode of AAV was diagnosed,she underwent the following therapy:Plasmapheresis was initiated within 24 h after admission,3 000 mL of plasma was removed per session,and the anticoagulation of citrate was applied during plasmapheresis.Five plasmapheresis treatments were performed,and after three apheresis sessions,the pulmonary hemorrhage ceased.Other trea
