Lupus vasculitis (LV) is one of the secondary vasculitides occurring in the setting of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in approximately 50% of patients. It is most commonly associated with small vessels, but medium-sized vessels can also be affected, whereas large vessel involvement is very rare.
Systemic vasculitis is a general term referring to the inflammation of arteries and veins that progresses to necrosis, leading to a narrowing of the vessels. Although the specific cause of many of these disorders is not known, infectious organisms, drugs, tumors, and allergic reactions are some of the defined triggers.
