Wegener's Disease (GRANULOMATOSIS WITH POLYANGIITIS)

Wegener's granulomatosis is a deadly disease. It is a rare type of inflammation that attacks arteries, capillaries and veins of the respiratory system and kidneys. It can affect the lungs, nose, sinuses and trachea. There is no cure for the disease but timely diagnosis can help control the inflammation process. A person suffering from the disease gets inflamed blood vessels, which cut off blood supply to vital organs in the body, eventually causing organ failure. What makes the disease most horrifying is that there is not much known about its causes yet.
