INTRODUCTION: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) rarely coexist with systemic thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA).The TMA can be in the form of either hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). This review explores the clinical characteristics, histopathological findings, treatment options, and outcomes in patients presenting as AAV with coexisting HUS/TTP. METHODS: We conducted a search on the PubMed database and additional searches from January 1998 to September 2022 using the following terms: "ANCA", "Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody", "thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura", "TTP", "thrombotic microangiopathy", "haemolytic uremic syndrome", and "HUS"...
