Takayasu Arteritis
Takayasu Arteritis is a rare inflammatory disease that primarily affects the large blood vessels, particularly the aorta and its main branches. It is most commonly seen in young women and can lead to narrowing or blockage of these vessels, resulting in reduced blood flow to various organs.
Symptoms of Takayasu Arteritis may include fatigue, fever, weight loss, and pain in the arms or legs. Diagnosis often involves imaging tests like MRI or CT scans to visualize the affected blood vessels. Early detection and treatment are crucial to manage the condition and prevent complications.
