What are the causes of vasculitis?

Vasculitis is a condition that causes inflammation of blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. This inflammation can weaken vessel walls, leading to narrowing, blockages, or rupture. Depending on which blood vessels are affected, vasculitis can impact different organs and tissues, potentially leading to serious complications. This article takes a detailed look at the triggers and causes of vasculitis.

Autoimmune diseases and their symptoms

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, organs, or cells. Instead of defending the body from infections, the immune system targets healthy components, leading to inflammation and damage. There are over 80 known autoimmune diseases, each affecting different parts of the body and presenting with unique symptoms. Understanding these conditions is essential for early diagnosis and effective management.
