Where it affects: It usually involves the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys or the brain, though it can appear in other vessels.
Possible symptoms: Depending on the artery affected, it may be associated with high blood pressure, headache, ringing in the ears, or dizziness, though in many cases it goes unnoticed.
