How is Takayasu arteritis usually treated?

Patient's question:

What's wrong with my body feeling unwell? How is Takayasu arteritis usually treated?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of giant cell arteritis symptoms involves anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, and anticoagulant therapies. If blood pressure is high, active blood pressure reduction treatment must be implemented. For more severe symptoms, hormone treatment or the use of autoimmune modulators can be employed together, both of which can achieve certain therapeutic effects. However, surgical treatment may be required depending on the specific condition.
