Vasculitis: When to Consider this Diagnosis?

Kunal Mishra et al. Med Clin North Am. 2023 Sep.

Abstract

Vasculitis is a diverse group of disorders involving inflammation of the blood vessels. Approaching the diagnosis of vasculitis can be challenging, given the differing clinical presentation and organ manifestations. Often vasculitis is a diagnosis that is considered too late, given the heterogeneous presentation and various mimics. This article aims to provide physicians with a diagnostic approach to vasculitis.
