Warning Signs Of Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis, formerly referred to as Wegener's granulomatosis, is a particularly rare kind of vasculitis. The disorder causes inflammation of small and medium-sized blood vessels, especially in the nose, throat, kidneys, and lungs. The inflamed areas are known as granulomas, and these can reduce normal organ function. Blood circulation to the impacted areas may also be reduced. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis currently has no known causes or identifiable risk factors, and the majority of cases are diagnosed in individuals between forty and sixty-five years old.
