Well,: What specialist you need to see depends on what type of vasculitis you have. Specialists who treat vasculitis include: brain and nervous system doctors (neurologists) eye doctors (ophthalmologists) heart doctors (cardiologists) joint and muscle doctors (rheumatologists) kidney doctors (nephrologists) lung doctors (pulmonologists) skin doctors (dermatologists).

Several types: Generally you'll want to see two types of physicians for your vasculitis, which is a general term for inflammation of the blood vessels. The first is a vascular surgeon who can recognize all the vasculitidies and offer operative treatments for blockages and aneurysms that arise as a result of vasculitis, and the other is a rheumatologist who can offer medical therapies to slow the inflammation.
