Details: Vasculitis is a condition that involves inflammation of the blood vessels. The condition occurs if the immune system attacks the blood vessels by mistake. This may happen as the result of an infection, a medicine, or another disease or condition.
This new edition is a complete guide to the diagnosis and management of vasculitis.
Divided into six sections, the book begins with an overview of the epidemiology, genetics and classification of vasculitis, followed by discussion on basic science and pathological aspects.
The next sections cover imaging modalities used to assess and diagnose disease activity, and clinical manifestations according to organ system or individual vasculitis syndromes.
Section five discusses disease management techniques, and the book concludes with in depth examination of more than 20 individual vasculitis syndromes.
The second edition has been extensively revised and features new topics including DADA2 and VEXAS syndrome, bringing clinicians fully up to date with the latest advances in their field.
The comprehensive text is further enhanced by clinical images and figures.
