-Classified based on vessels size affected

Vasculitis is inflammation of the vessels and is classified according to the size of the vessels affected. The disease may be systemic or affect one area or tissue of the body. Several forms of vasculitis exist, and an autoimmune component, with immune complexes deposited in the arterial walls, has been found to play a role. Signs and symptoms of vasculitis vary, depending on the tissues involved. Takayasu arteritis is one example of vasculitis; it affects the aorta and pulmonary arteries.
