Renal Involvement in Children with Vasculitis

  • 335 Accesses

Abstract

Vasculitis is the inflammation in a blood vessel wall. This inflammation leads to narrowing or aneurysm of the vessel resulting in protean manifestations in the tissue that it nourishes. The kidney is one of the target organs frequently affected in vasculitis.
