Necrotizing Vasculitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Necrotizing vasculitis groups together several diseases in which the blood vessels become inflamed so intensely that their wall can be damaged and deteriorate. This disrupts blood flow to the tissues and organs that these vessels supply.
How it can appear: Its signs vary depending on the vessels and organs affected, and include skin lesions, pain, general malaise, fever, and symptoms related to the affected organ, such as the kidneys.
When to seek care? In the face of unusual skin lesions accompanied by persistent general malaise or symptoms affecting several organs, a careful evaluation is advisable.
Which specialists treat it? The nephrologist is involved when there is kidney involvement, while the angiologist and the vascular surgeon evaluate the blood vessels; the general practitioner can guide the first visit. Placing the condition in the hands of these professionals is the most sensible course.
