Pathogenesis of Vasculitis

Vasculitis is a condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and inflames the blood vessels. This inflammation can damage the walls of the vessels, reducing blood flow and causing various symptoms. The exact cause can vary, but it often involves infections, medications, or autoimmune disorders, where the immune system targets the body's own tissues. As a result, the inflammation can lead to organ damage, pain, and other complications, depending on which blood vessels are affected. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to manage the condition and minimize harm.
