Expertise in Vasculitis - a group of diseases
  • Vasculitis is a family of of rare auto-immune diseases in which the immune system damages the inner wall of our blood vessels.
  • The individual diseases within this family are usually classified according to the size of the  blood vessels affected. This classification is named the Chapell Hill classification since it was first defined during a meeting at the university of North-Carolina at Chapel Hill , USA.
  • Most patient support groups  and health care providers  focus on the entire vasculitis family of vasculitides (plural for vasculitis). Sometimes however they have an specific expertise with respect to a particular subcategory.
