It can also involve other organs, such as the kidneys. Inflammation of the renal artery can lead to hypertension, proteinuria, and progressive loss of kidney function over time. This condition is known as renovascular hypertension. The treatment for Takayasu’s arteritis involves managing symptoms with medications like corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and antihypertensive drugs. Surgical intervention may be necessary if there are complications, such as aneurysms or blockages in the affected blood vessels. Lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and smoking cessation can also help manage better disease management.
