He also complains of weight loss. He has no previous medical history of significance. Lab values show his serum creatinine level is 2.3 mg/dL. An immune complex disease is suspected, and assays for autoantibodies in neutrophils are conducted. What diseases are associated with the identification of anti-myeloperoxidase and anti-proteinase-3 antibodies, respectively?

A) Temporal arteritis, Wegener’s granulomatosis
