Vascular involvement

Vascular involvement refers to the condition where disease processes, such as inflammation or tumors, affect the blood vessels. This can lead to affected vessels becoming narrowed, blocked, or damaged, which may impair blood flow to parts of the body. Such involvement can cause symptoms like pain, swelling, or organ dysfunction depending on the severity and location. Recognizing vascular involvement is important for diagnosing and managing conditions like infections, autoimmune diseases, or cancers, as it can influence treatment strategies and prognosis.
