Treatment Options For Vasculitis

Vasculitis is a condition that causes the blood vessels to become inflamed. The walls of the vessels gradually become weaker, scarred, thicker, and narrower, which can cause tissue and organ damage, due to blood flow to various parts of the body being restricted. There are numerous types of this condition, and the majority are considered rare. For some individuals, multiple organs are affected, while for others, only one organ is. Vasculitis may be chronic or acute. While risk factors vary, and certain types are more often seen in certain populations, anyone can develop vasculitis.
