6. What Causes Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis?

Unfortunately, doctors do not know what precisely causes Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis. They know that usually occurs after an infection, but no particular infection is a culprit. There may or may not be a small genetic component to it, but it is rare for two members of the same family to have it. Although it typically affects people between the ages of 40 and 65, it can affect anyone at any age.
