IRIS Clinics in Trivandrum provides specialized care for Polymyositis, using corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy to manage symptoms and prevent progression."
Polymyositis is a condition marked by progressive muscle weakness, sometimes accompanied by lung or heart involvement. Diagnosis involves blood tests, electromyography, and muscle biopsy. Early treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy often leads to very positive therapeutic outcomes, helping manage symptoms and improve muscle strength.
Surgical interventions for Takayasu's Arteritis are considered when there is severe narrowing or damage to blood vessels, leading to compromised blood flow. Procedures like angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery may be performed to restore normal circulation and prevent complications such as organ damage or stroke. Surgery is typically considered after medical treatments.
Immunosuppressive drugs, such as methotrexate, azathioprine, and cyclophosphamide, are used to treat Takayasu's Arteritis when corticosteroids alone are insufficient. These medications suppress the immune system, reducing inflammation and preventing further vessel damage. They are particularly useful for managing long-term disease activity and preventing flare-ups in patients with persistent symptoms..
Biologic agents, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors like infliximab and interleukin inhibitors such as tocilizumab, are used for Takayasu's Arteritis when conventional treatments fail. These drugs target specific immune system pathways involved in inflammation, helping to reduce disease activity, prevent flare-ups, and improve outcomes for patients with severe or refractory disease.
