Vasculitis
MONDO:0018882Vasculitis represents a clinically heterogenous group of diseases of multifactorial etiology characterized by inflammation of either large-sized vessels (large-vessel vasculitis, e.g. Giant-cell arteritis and Takayasu arteritis), medium-sized vessels (medium-vessel vasculitis e.g. polyarteritis nodosa and Kawasaki disease), or small-sized vessels (small-vessel vasculitis, e.g. granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis, immunoglobulin A vasculitis, and cutaneous leukocytoclastic angiitis). Vasculitis occurs at any age, may be acute or chronic, and manifests with general symptoms such as fever, weight loss and fatigue, as well as more specific clinical signs depending on the type of vessels and organs affected. The degree of severity is variable, ranging from life or sight threatening disease (e.g. Behcet disease) to relatively minor skin disease.

New MRI technique could pinpoint stroke cause
Diagnosis Not yet recruitingThis study looks at whether a detailed MRI of the blood vessel wall can help doctors tell the difference between two common causes of stroke: hardening of the arteries (plaque buildup) and inflammation of the vessel wall (vasculitis). About 46 people who recently had a stroke wil…

New scan could reveal hidden immune cells in blood vessel disease
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study will use a special scan to look for B cells (a type of immune cell) in the blood vessels of 30 people with giant cell arteritis, a serious disease that can cause blindness or stroke. Current treatments rely on steroids, which have harsh side effects. If the scan works,…
