Inflammatory Vasculitis

Inflammatory vasculitis is a type of autoimmune disorder in which a person’s own immune system mistakenly attacks the blood vessels, causing inflammation and damage to the walls of the vessels. This can lead to clotting, tissue damage, and organ failure. Symptoms of inflammatory vasculitis may include fever, rashes, muscle and joint pain, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Treatment may include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and other medications. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are important for controlling the symptoms and reducing the risk of complications. As an autoimmune disorder, inflammatory vasculitis can affect people of any age, gender, or ethnicity.
