Vasculitis

Find the care you need for blood vessel inflammation, also known as vasculitis.

What Is Vasculitis?

Vasculitis is inflammation in your blood vessels. It restricts the blood flow in your body and may affect one or multiple organs. There are many different types of vasculitis — also known as angiitis — that are categorized based on the size and location of the blood vessels involved. Common symptoms include:

  • Fever
  • Chills
  • Nausea
  • Weight loss
  • Specific symptoms related to the location of the affected blood vessels
