[1] Aortitis is most commonly seen in patients with syphilis , autoimmune vasculitis ( giant cell arteritis , Takayasu's arteritis ), polymyalgia rheumatica , and rheumatoid arthritis . [ 2 ] IgG4-related disease has more recently been identified as a cause of aortitis, and also as a cause of periaortitis (inflammation surrounding the aorta).
[9] [10] The supplemental section of the journal article of the discovery elucidates that the initial discovery of the mutation was made by Daron Ross in the first 2 patients identified. [ 9 ] It was first reported in The New England Journal of Medicine in October 2020 where Beck et al wrote: "Using a genotype -driven approach, we identified a ...
Antiphospholipid syndrome is known for causing arterial or venous blood clots, in any organ system, and pregnancy-related complications.While blood clots and pregnancy complications are the most common and diagnostic symptoms associated with APS, other organs and body parts may be affected like platelet levels, heart, kidneys, brain, and skin.
Systemic venous angiitis or vasculitis is an inflammatory disease of the blood vessels walls, secondary to autoimmune diseases. It is essentially a T helper cell driven reaction, recruited by dendritic cells. The vascular impact can affect the blood circulation in the veins and thus give rise to the syndrome of Hughes-Stovin.
Arteritis is a vascular disorder characterized by inflammation of the walls of arteries, [1] usually as a result of infection or autoimmune responses. Arteritis, a complex disorder, is still not entirely understood. [2] Arteritis may be distinguished by its different types, based on the organ systems affected by the disease. [2]
Cutaneous vasculitis is the most common type of vasulitis amongst those with systemic lupus erythematosus. [7] The clinical presentation is variable and can include superficial ulcerations, splinter hemorrhages, panniculitis, macules, erythema with necrosis or erythematous plaques, cutaneous infarction, livedo reticularis, bullous lesions of the extremities or urticaria lesions, papulonodular ...
Vasculitic neuropathy is a peripheral neuropathic disease. [1] [2] [3] In a vasculitic neuropathy there is damage to the vessels that supply blood to the nerves.[1] [2] [3] It can be as part of a systemic problem or can exist as a single-organ issue only affecting the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis is a form of inflammation affecting the blood vessels caused by the deposition of abnormal proteins called cryoglobulins. These immunoglobulin proteins are soluble at normal body temperatures, but become insoluble below 37 °C (98.6 °F) and subsequently may aggregate within smaller blood vessels.
