Both arteries and veins are affected. Lymphangitis (inflammation of lymphatic vessels) is sometimes considered a type of vasculitis. Vasculitis is primarily caused by leukocyte migration and resultant damage. Although both occur in vasculitis, inflammation of veins (phlebitis) or arteries (arteritis) on their own are separate entities. Signs and symptoms Possible signs and symptoms include: General symptoms: fever, unintentional weight loss, tiredness Skin: palpable purpura, livedo reticularis Muscles and joints: muscle pain or inflammation, joint pain or joint swelling Nervous system: mononeuritis multiplex, headache, stroke, tinnitus, reduced visual acuity, acute visual loss Heart and arteries: heart attack, high blood pressure, gangrene, heart palpitations Respiratory tract: nosebleeds, bloody cough, lung infiltrates GI tract: abdominal pain, bloody stool, perforations (hole in the GI tract) Kidneys: inflammation of the kidney's filtration units (glomeruli) Ear and Nose: sinus infections, ear infections, and hearing loss Causes There are several different etiologies for vasculitides. Although infections usually involve vessels as a component of more extensive tissue damage, they can also directly or indirectly cause vasculitic syndromes through immune-mediated secondary events. Simple vascular thrombosis usually only affects the luminal process, but through the process of thrombus organization, it can also occasionally cause a more chronic vasculitic syndrome. The autoimmune etiologies, a particular family of diseases characterized by dysregulated immune responses that produce particular pathophysiologic signs and symptoms, are more prevalent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join this channel to get access to the perks: Sign up now on our website at https://members.drnajeeblectures.com/ Follow us on Facebook:-   / drnajeeb   Follow us on Instagram:-   / drnajeeblectures
