The prognosis standards for Takayasu's arteritis, which is a non-specific panarteritis mainly affecting the media of arteries. The entire arterial wall shows diffuse irregular thickening and fibrosis, with the thickened intima proliferating inward to cause stenosis and obstruction of the arteries. Takayasu's arteritis remains a global challenge, and patients are also concerned about whether it can be cured. The Shanxi Yikang Peripheral Arteritis Hospital informs you that there are several prognosis standards for Takayasu's arteritis:
1. Ideal prognosis (ideal endpoint), i.e., clinical cure: The condition of Takayasu's arteritis is relatively mild and has a shorter duration. Although there are already obvious signs of vascular wall proliferation and thickening in areas such as the head-arm arteries, thoracoabdominal aorta, or renal arteries, these have not caused significant ischemia in vital organs like the heart, brain, kidneys, and lungs, nor have they led to pathological changes in these organs. During this phase, actively treating with our integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine immune balance therapy can benefit the majority of Takayasu's arteritis patients for life. Their quality of life is no different from normal individuals, allowing them to perform various heavy physical activities and sports (except marathons). Life expectancy can reach seventy to eighty years. This is the standard for clinical cure and the best outcome we all expect.
2. Satisfactory prognosis (satisfactory endpoint), i.e., clinically significant improvement: The condition of Takayasu's arteritis is relatively severe, leading to serious narrowing or expansion of the blood vessels at the affected site, even causing occlusion, while simultaneously causing a certain degree of damage to the heart, brain, and kidneys, but without leading to organ failure such as blindness, severe cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, kidney shrinkage, or uremia. At this time, actively treating with our integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine immune balance therapy can still yield very significant results, enabling Takayasu's arteritis patients to participate in general daily life and work, extending their lives, but unable to participate in heavy physical activities or strenuous exercise. Most patients can still live to around seventy years old. This allows the patient’s quality of life to basically approach that of a normal person, which is also the satisfactory goal pursued by our clinical doctors.
3. Beneficial prognosis (beneficial endpoint), i.e., clinically effective: The condition of Takayasu's arteritis is severe, with widespread involvement of the head-arm arteries, thoracoabdominal aorta, or renal arteries. At this point, the arterial wall scars and fibrosis, resulting in irreversible narrowing or occlusion of the lumen, leading to severe complications in vital organs such as the heart, brain, lungs, and kidneys, with impaired function. However, after active treatment with our integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine immune balance therapy, the blood supply to vital organs can still be improved, with significantly restored function. The survival time and quality of life of the patients can be significantly improved, but they cannot participate in general work or physical activities, only being able to handle light daily life tasks. Due to the severity of the condition, the recovery state has a noticeable difference compared to normal people, commonly seen in cases of blindness, severe heart failure, severe cerebral infarction, and severe kidney shrinkage.
The above is a detailed introduction by experts on the prognosis standards for Takayasu's arteritis, hoping it will help you. If you have more questions, you can consult online with the experts at Shanxi Yikang Peripheral Arteritis Hospital. Finally, I wish you good health.
