Vasculitis – When to see a Doctor

Transcript

If you have symptoms affecting multiple organs, you should immediately talk to your primary care doctor to understand the cause of your symptoms.

An urgent referral to a rheumatologist is very important in early diagnosis and treatment of vasculitis. This helps prevent organ damage, in particular, the lungs and the kidneys.
