MedlinePlus: Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels. it happens when the body's immune system attacks the blood vessel by mistake. the cause is often unknown. vasculitis can affect arteries, veins and capillaries. arteries are vessels that carry blood from the heart to the body's organs. veins are the vessels that carry blood back to the heart. capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect the small arteries and veins.
when a blood vessel becomes inflamed, it can
narrow, making it more difficult for blood to get through
close off completely so that blood can't get through
stretch and weaken so much that it bulges and may burst and cause dangerous bleeding inside the body
symptoms of vasculitis can vary, but usually include fever, swelling and a general sense of feeling ill. the main goal of treatment is to stop the inflammation. steroids and other medicines to stop inflammation are often helpful.

MalaCards: Vasculitis, also known as angiitis, is related to retinal vasculitis and lymphocytic vasculitis. An important gene associated with Vasculitis is VCAM1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule 1), and among its related pathways are Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and Staphylococcus aureus infection. The drug pentoxifylline and the compounds n-formylmethionyl-leucylphenylalanine and endotoxin have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone marrow, lymph node and brain, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and endocrine/exocrine gland. Disease Ontology: A vascular disease that is an inflammatory destruction of blood vessels.6 Wikipedia: Vasculitis (plural: vasculitides) is a group of disorders that destroy blood vessels by inflammation....44 more... |
