Takayasu Arteritis Score

The Takayasu Arteritis Score is a tool used by doctors to evaluate the severity and activity of Takayasu arteritis, a rare disease that causes inflammation of large arteries. It considers factors such as signs of inflammation, blood vessel narrowing or blockages, and symptoms like symptoms or changes seen in imaging tests. The score helps doctors monitor disease progress and decide on the best treatment plan. Essentially, it provides a standardized way to assess how active the condition is and guides decisions to prevent complications or organ damage.
