What is Takayasu Arteritis?

Takayasu Arteritis is a rare autoimmune disease in which inflammation affects the body’s largest arteries, particularly the aorta and its major branches. This inflammation can cause the blood vessels to narrow, reducing blood flow to vital organs and leading to symptoms such as fatigue, arm or leg pain, dizziness, headaches, and high blood pressure.

At Niruj Rheumatology & Allergy Clinic, our specialists provide comprehensive evaluation, advanced diagnostic support, and personalised treatment plans to control inflammation, preserve blood vessel health, and help patients maintain a better quality of life.
