Allergic vasculitis is generally incurable, but can be controlled by avoiding triggers, medications, and other treatments.
Allergic vasculitis is a kind of leukocyte fragmentation vasculitis, which mainly invades the capillaries and small blood vessels in the upper dermis. It is mainly characterized by hemorrhagic papules, nodules and necrosis in the lower limbs, and may be accompanied by fever, fatigue and arthralgia. Some patients may have internal organ damage, especially the kidneys and lungs.
The cause of allergic vasculitis is unknown and there is no cure, but patients with only skin lesions can usually be controlled in a few weeks, but some patients have recurrent episodes. Severe cases can have multiple organ damage and can even be life-threatening, requiring aggressive treatment. Atopic vasculitis can be controlled by avoiding triggers, medications, and other treatments.
1. Avoiding triggers: 44.1% of patients with allergic vasculitis have no obvious triggers, and among those who have triggers, drug reactions and infections are common. Avoiding triggers can reduce symptoms to a certain extent or prevent recurrent attacks.
2. Drug therapy: the common drugs used in the treatment of allergic vasculitis are glucocorticosteroids, such as prednisone acetate, methylprednisolone, colchicine, methotrexate, azathioprine, etc. All of the above drugs should be used under the supervision of a doctor. All of the above drugs need to be standardized under the guidance of a doctor according to the needs of the condition.
It is recommended that patients with allergic vasculitis go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of a doctor to standardize the diagnosis and treatment.
