What is vasculititis?

Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels, which can affect arteries, veins, and capillaries. This condition can disrupt blood flow, leading to tissue damage and various symptoms depending on the affected vessels and organs. Vasculitis can be caused by autoimmune disorders, infections, or certain medications and can be classified into different types based on the size of the blood vessels involved. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms.
