Glomerulonephritis, arthritis, obstructive pulmonary disease, and ocular inflammation are common in HUV. HUV may present as an idiopathic disease or be a part of systemic autoimmune or autoinflammatory condition, like systemic lupus erythematosus, arthritis-hives-angioedema (AHA) syndrome, cryoglobulinemic vasculitis, Schnitzler syndrome, Cogan’s syndrome and Muckle–Wells syndrome.
