What is Vasculitis?
Vasculitis refers to a group of disorders characterized by inflammation of blood vessels, which can cause the vessel walls to thicken, weaken, narrow, or scar. This restricts blood flow, potentially leading to damage in the organs and tissues supplied by the affected vessels. Vasculitis can affect vessels of any size, from tiny capillaries to the largest arteries, and may involve a single organ or be systemic, affecting multiple organ systems simultaneously. Its presentation varies widely depending on which vessels and organs are involved.
