A member asked:
What is a common cause for vasculitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetic is a cause: Some types of vasculitis are genetic. Other cases are caused by the immune system attacking blood vessel cells by accident. Some possible triggers for this immune system reaction are blood cancers, infections, such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C, reactions to some drugs and immune system diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. I wish you the best of luck with your health!
