Introduction The vasculitides include a broad spectrum of disorders that span a clinical spectrum from benign, self-limited disease to fulminant conditions that are fatal in the absence of therapy. Whereas the large-vessel vasculitides consist of 2 principal disorders, giant cell arteritis and Takayasu arteritis, the mediumand small-vessel vasculitides are much more diverse, including multiple ...

Vasculitis is an inflammatory process occurring primarily on the vessel wall. It results in vessel wall destruction and subsequent hemorrhagic and ischemic events. Skin is the most common target organ for vasculitis.1,2,3,4 Cutaneous vasculitis includes vasculitis of the dermal small vessels5 and subcutaneous small muscular vessels.6 It can be a self-limited benign disease restricted to the ski...

The aim of this study was to compare renal impairment in patients with propylthiouracil (PTU)-induced small-vessel vasculitis and patients with primary anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-induced small-vessel vasculitis. The study compared the pathology and clinical conditions of 10 patients with PTU-associated small-vessel vasculitis and 18 patients with primary ANCA-associated small-v...

Volume 4 • Issue 1 • 1000124 J Data Mining Genomics Proteomics ISSN:2153-0602 JDMGP an open access journal Systemic vasculitis is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by chronic or acute inflammation, and is classified into groups by the size of the affected blood vessels: large vessel vasculitis, medium vessel vasculitis, or small vessel vasculitis. The pathogenesis of systemic vasculitis is...

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is the most common primary systemic small-vessel vasculitis to occur in adults. Although the etiology is not always known, the incidence of vasculitis is increasing, and the diagnosis and management of patients may be challenging because of its relative infrequency, changing nomenclature, and variability of clinical expression. ...

Vasculitis create a local inflammatory process in the vessel wall, which determines the different organic manifestations according to vessel size and location. Imaging techniques play a key role in the characterization and detection of large and medium size vessel vasculitis. Imaging is able to detect the vessel wall edema and to monitor the therapeutic response. In small vessel vasculitis, ima...
