This inflammation can lead to narrowing, weakening, stretching, or scarring of the blood vessels, which can restrict blood flow and damage organs and tissues. The disease can affect arteries, veins, and capillaries, and can target vessels of any size, from tiny capillaries to large arteries like the aorta. Symptoms vary widely depending on which organs and blood vessels are affected, making diagnosis challenging. Conventional treatment often involves immunosuppressive drugs.<br \/>\nLCC Hospital offers a comprehensive, holistic approach that addresses the profound underlying immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation, aiming to modulate the immune system, reduce vascular damage, and support cellular healing without solely relying on immune suppression.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><b><br \/>\nCommon Types and Symptoms<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are many types, affecting different vessels and organs (e.g., Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, Giant Cell Arteritis, Takayasu&#8217;s Arteritis, Polyarteritis Nodosa, Microscopic Polyangiitis).<br \/>\nGeneral symptoms can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Fever<\/strong>: Unexplained.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Fatigue<\/strong>: Profound and persistent.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Weight Loss<\/strong>: Unexplained.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Muscle and Joint Pain<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Skin Rashes<\/strong>: Red spots, lumps, ulcers, or purpura.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Nerve Problems<\/strong>: Numbness, weakness, tingling, burning, or loss of function.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Organ-Specific Symptoms<\/strong>:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Kidneys<\/strong>: High blood pressure, blood in urine, kidney failure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Lungs<\/strong>: Shortness of breath, cough, chest pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Eyes<\/strong>: Blurred vision, temporary or permanent blindness.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>GI Tract<\/strong>: Abdominal pain, bleeding, ulcers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Brain<\/strong>: Headaches, stroke, seizures.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\"><strong>Heart<\/strong>: Angina, heart attack, heart failure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Root Cause&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1752822321493-7cc35074-a286&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #333333;\"><b>The Root Cause: Beyond Inflammation \u2013 Immune Dysregulation, Gut-Immune Axis Imbalance, and Environmental Triggers<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333;\">At LCC Hospital, we view autoimmune vasculitis not merely as uncontrolled inflammation, but as a profound manifestation of deep-seated immune dysregulation where the body&#8217;s own defense system mistakenly targets its blood vessels.
