Artitis is a more hidden chronic vascular disease, which mainly affects large vessels such as the aorta and its branches. Because of their slowness and unusual symptoms, they are often overlooked as a “silent” health threat.
Artitis is more prevalent among young women, especially in the 10-30 age group. The causes of the disease have not yet been fully identified and may be related to the interplay of factors such as autoimmune disorders, genetic factors and infections. The human immune system is supposed to be a healthy “guardian”, but in the case of persons with major artery, the immune system wrongly attacked their own great artery walls, leading to an inflammatory reaction to the vascular walls, which in turn increases their thickness, hardens them and reduces and even completely blocks them.
At an early stage of a disease, patients may have shown only non-specific symptoms, such as low heat, powerlessness, sweat theft, appetite and loss of weight, which can be mistaken for common colds or stress, and it is difficult to suggest that arterialitis is intrusive. As the disease progresses, narrow or blocked veins cause a number of serious problems. Hemorrhage of the brain, such as dizziness, headache, loss of vision, loss of memory, etc., can occur if he/she is tired and has upper limbs; when he/she is exhausted, he/she leads to incapacitation, numbness, cooling, and even to the loss or disappearance of his/her pulse; and when he/she is tired and renal arteries, he/she may cause hypertension, kidney damage, etc. Without timely treatment, arterialitis may also lead to an aneurysm on the vascular wall, which, if broken, can lead to haemorrhage, seriously endangering life.
At present, the diagnosis of artery is based on clinical performance, laboratory examinations (e.g., blood sunk, C-reaction protein rise, self-positive) and image examinations (e.g., vascular ultrasound, CT angiography, MRI vascular imaging, etc.). In terms of treatment, treatment is dominated by medications, commonly used, including sugar-coated hormones and immunosuppressants, which can inhibit excessive activity of the immune system, reduce the inflammation response of the vascular wall, mitigate symptoms and prevent further deterioration. Surgery, such as vascular re-establishment, scaffolding, etc., may be required to improve blood circulation for patients with severe, narrow or visible conditions.
Although arterialitis is a more serious disease, the condition of most patients can be effectively controlled and the quality of life significantly improved, provided that it is detected early, diagnosed in a timely manner and treated in a standardized manner. Therefore, for young women, especially those with the above-mentioned related symptoms, vigilance and timely medical attention should be provided in order to detect and treat arthritis as soon as possible and to avoid its serious consequences.
