Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital examination revealed a blood-related issue. Could you please tell me which organs are primarily affected by arteritis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, giant cell arteritis mainly affects the heart and the intima of large blood vessels in women, leading to additional chronic inflammation. For the treatment of polyarteritis, the main goal is to control inflammation using autoimmune preparations to manage its symptoms. If treated early, the patient's condition can still be improved. In the middle and late stages, the damage to the heart and large arteries in patients tends to be more severe.
