Symptoms and treatment of arteritis

The symptoms of arteritis in different locations are different, as follows: 1. Arteritis of the extremities: Patients can show significant local pain. 2. Carotid arteritis: Patients can experience dizziness, headache, memory loss, vision loss, cerebral ischemia, and other symptoms, which can lead to convulsions, aphasia, hemiparesis, and even coma in severe cases. 3. Thoracoabdominal aortitis: Patients can experience inadequate blood supply to the upper and lower extremities, and can appear intermittent claudication. If the condition is mild, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment, and hormones can also be used for treatment, such as prednisone and dexamethasone. Some patients also need to be treated with immune drugs, and some patients also need to take anti-platelet drugs, such as BAY aspirin. If conservative treatment is not effective, interventional or surgical treatment is required.
