The claim
Posts online say that stem cell treatment helps with ANCA-associated vasculitis.
Where research stands
We found 6 published papers on stem cell treatment and ANCA-associated vasculitis. They were published between 2010 and 2024. None of them is a study in people. None was a study in animals, and none was only in cells in the lab. 1 paper is a review that sums up other studies. 1 new study in people is running or will start soon, say the trial registers. 2 research projects on stem cell treatment for ANCA-associated vasculitis are funded and still running.

What the studies found
We have not summed up these studies in words yet. The most important papers are listed under Sources.
Verdict
We found papers on stem cell treatment and ANCA-associated vasculitis, but no study of it in people, in animals or in the lab.
Unproven means: it was only tested in animals or cells, or there is too little or mixed data from people. How we rate claims
What this means for you: No study we found shows whether it helps. Do not stop or change your medicines because of it. Ask your doctor before you start taking it.
