Authors
PMID: 36027404.

Vasculitides are a group of rare, systemic diseases that induce inflammatory reactions in blood vessels, causing a reduction of blood flow and ischemia. In the kidney, luminal narrowing reduces blood flow and activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, causing renovascular hypertension.
