What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
Most cases involve blood vessels in the skin, but just about any blood vessel in the body can be involved. Exact symptoms depend on the type of vasculitis present. This condition may cause:
tender red or purple bumps on the skin.
open sores on the skin.
depression.
fatigue.
high blood pressure.
damage to the body if blood flow stops in the inflamed blood vessels. For example, vasculitis may lead to a heart attack, loss of vision, kidney failure, lung damage, and other body damage.
