Immunosuppressive Treatment for Vasculitis

Immunosuppressive treatment for vasculitis involves using medications that dampen the immune system's activity. Vasculitis is when the immune system mistakenly attacks blood vessels, leading to inflammation and damage. These treatments, which may include drugs like corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants, help reduce inflammation, prevent further damage, and alleviate symptoms. By suppressing the immune response, the treatments aim to restore balance in the body, allowing it to function normally without attacking its own tissues. This approach is essential for managing vasculitis and improving the patient's quality of life.
