For a person suffering from such a severe vascular ailment, accurate detection may take time if he has no access to top class medical facilities. What does one do when diagnosed with bilateral lower limb vasculitis? It is a crippling condition with no remedial solution immediately in sight. To put it broadly, vasculitis is a condition in which there is inflammation of the blood vessels. It manifests itself differently based on which blood vessels are affected, how severely they are and accordingly which organ or organ systems are going to be impaired.

Vasculitis is a systemic disorder that means it affects the entire body, rather than a single organ or system. Generalized symptoms include fatigue, fever, pain, headaches, cough, skin rashes, numbness of limbs. The causes of vasculitis are still a mystery. It is considered to be an autoimmune disease, caused when the immune system attacks itself for reasons unknown. Also, genetic and environmental factors can play a role. A barrage of diagnostic tests – blood tests, imaging, and biopsies – are then unleashed, and vasculitis is confirmed.

The treatment for vasculitis can be very long drawn and the medications can have harmful side effects unless you are in the hands of a good doctor, like Dr.P.C.Gupta. Did you know that Dr.Gupta’s team at Care Hospitals is considered one of the best teams in India for the treatment of vasculitis. And at my-healthconnect we feel proud to have partnered with them.
