Patient's question:
What's wrong with my body feeling unwell? How is Takayasu arteritis usually treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of symptoms for giant cell arteritis 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 such as these drugs can be employed together, all of which can yield certain therapeutic effects. However, surgical treatment may be required depending on the specific condition.
