A vasculite pode afetar qualquer vaso sanguíneo—artérias, arteríolas, veias, vênulas ou vasos capilares. As manifestações clínicas de distúrbios vasculíticos específicos são diversas e dependem do tamanho e local dos vasos envolvidos, extensão do envolvimento dos órgãos e o grau e padrão da inflamação extravascular.
The diagnosis of vasculitis usually requires a biopsy of an involved organ (skin, kidney, lung, nerve, temporal artery). This allows us to ‘see’ the vasculitis by looking under a microscope to see the inflammatory immune cells in the wall of the blood vessel.
