  Vasculitis, a group of rare autoimmune disorders characterized by inflammation of blood vessels, remains a medical enigma. While genetic factors play a role, recent research increasingly points to the influence of environmental triggers in the development and exacerbation of vasculitis. This article delves into the intricate interplay between environmental factors and vasculitis, shedding light on the complex mechanisms that underlie these conditions. Vasculitis encompasses a range of disorders, each affecting blood vessels differently. From giant cell arteritis to ANCA-associated vasculitis, these conditions share a common thread of the immune system mistakenly attacking blood vessels. However, the factors triggering this immune response are multifaceted and extend beyond the realm of genetics. Numerous environmental elements have been implicated in the onset .. Read More»
