Takayasu's arteritis (Giant cell arteritis of the young)

A rare disease that causes inflammation in the medium and large arteries of the body. The disease is more common in females and in people of Asian descent. Over time the inflammation results in scarring and damage to the blood vessels. The aorta is the main blood vessel of the body and Takayasu's arteritis targets that vessel and its branches. The damage to the blood vessels results in decreased blood flow to the attached organs (heart, kidney, brain) and this can cause serious problems like strokes and heart attacks.
