Polyarteritis nodosa or PAN is a rare condition of inflamed blood vessels that hurt our organs. Patient can have symptoms in many parts of his body at one time. Prompt allopathic treatment gives patient the best chance at remission, but relapses can happen.
Affected sites and the severity of patient’s condition play a role in his/her outlook. Inflammation from polyarteritis nodosa makes arteries narrow, which can keep oxygen from getting to the organs.
What is polyarteritis nodosa?
Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a rare condition in which blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis) injures our organs. Inflammation can make a blood vessel:
- Weak and stretched out, which can lead to aneurysms.
- Thin to the point of rupturing and bleeding into the tissue.
- Narrow enough to close off entirely, damaging organs by cutting off their oxygen and nutrient supply.
Although polyarteritis nodosa mainly affects medium-sized blood vessels, affected organs may lose some or all of their ability to function.
Polyarteritis nodosa most commonly affects:
- Kidneys.
- Joints.
- Nerves.
- Intestinal tract.
- Skin.
- Muscles.
Most people have issues with more than one area of their body with polyarteritis nodosa. Rarely, a person may only have symptoms in his/her skin (cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa). A good doctor will keep checking on his/her patient to make sure patient don’t develop symptoms in other parts of his body.
Polyarteritis nodosa usually doesn’t cause symptoms in the lungs.
Symptoms
PAN can affect many different parts of your body with a wide range of symptoms. Polyarteritis nodosa symptoms may include: 
- A general ill feeling.
- Fatigue.
- Night sweats.
- Fever.
- Loss of appetite and weight.
- Pain in muscles and/or joints.
- Headaches (these aren’t common).
- Skin sores that may appear as hard, tender nodules or ulcers.
- Abdominal pain.
- Blood in the stool or urine.
- Shortness of breath.
- Chest pain.
- Hypertension.
- Painful testicles.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Numbness or loss of strength in feet and/or hands.
What causes polyarteritis nodosa?
Healthcare experts don’t know the cause of polyarteritis nodosa. It may have a genetic (inherited) cause or a connection to various blood disorders in some people.
Research strongly supports that your immune system plays a critical role in PAN. It does this by causing blood vessel and tissue inflammation and damage.
A hepatitis B (and sometimes hepatitis C) infection may set off polyarteritis nodosa. Rates of polyarteritis nodosa have decreased significantly since the creation of the hepatitis B vaccine.
Risk factors for polyarteritis nodosa
Polyarteritis nodosa risk factors include:
- Being assigned male at birth.
- Being between ages 45 and 65.
- Having a hepatitis B infection.
Complications of polyarteritis nodosa
Complications may include: 
- Aneurysms in arteries that go to organs like liver or kidneys.
- Blood clots in blood vessels (not common).
- Damage to tissues that can’t receive oxygen and nutrients.
- Gangrene (dead tissue).
- Heart failure (not common).
- Kidney failure (not common).
Diagnosis
To make a polyarteritis nodosa diagnosis, a doctor will use information from:
- Patient’s medical history.
- A physical exam to detect affected organs and to exclude other illnesses that may look similar.
- Blood tests.
- Imaging.
Tests to diagnose polyarteritis nodosa
A doctor may order these tests:
- Blood tests and urinalysis to look for results that may suggest inflammation or affected organs.
- X-rays.
- Computed tomography (CT) angiogram.
- Magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) scans.
- Biopsy to check for vasculitis if other tests show abnormal findings.
Allopathic treatment for polyarteritis nodosa
Polyarteritis nodosa allopathic treatment uses medications that suppress patient’s immune system. The goal of treatment is to get rid of inflammation (this process is called remission). Once patient’s condition improves, he/she will slowly reduce his/her medication dose and eventually stop taking it.
Medicines
If polyarteritis nodosa affects your critical organ systems, you’ll take more than one medicine. Polyarteritis nodosa treatment will include:
- A corticosteroid like prednisone or prednisolone.
- Another immunosuppressive medication such as cyclophosphamide.
Patients with certain types of cancer may receive high doses of cyclophosphamide. But people with vasculitis get cyclophosphamide doses that are 10 to 100 times lower than the amount that treats cancer. In patients with polyarteritis nodosa, the drug slows down their immune systems, so they don’t cause inflammation.
Usually, patient only take cyclophosphamide until remission (around three to six months). Then, the doctor may switch him to another immunosuppressive agent like methotrexate or azathioprine to maintain remission.
Different patients take a maintenance immunosuppressive medication for different lengths of time. Most patients take it for at least one to two years before a provider will consider slowly reducing their dosage and stopping it.
In rare instances, patients might do well with corticosteroid therapy alone if polyarteritis nodosa doesn’t affect their nervous system, heart, kidneys or intestinal tract but its rear.
Patients who have a polyarteritis nodosa-like vasculitis associated with hepatitis B may also take antiviral medications to treat the hepatitis.
Biologic agents have been investigated in patients with steroid-refractory and recurrent polyarteritis nodosa. Case reports have described response to treatment with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, including infliximab and etanercept. The interleukin-6 antagonist tocilizumab has been used successfully in refractory cases.
Single case reports describe successful use of the anti-CD20 agent rituximab and the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor tofacitinib in refractory polyarteritis nodosa. Plasma exchange has been used in a few patients with severe polyarteritis nodosa. 
Treatment for polyarteritis nodosa due to deficiency of ADA2 (DADA2) focuses on TNF-alpha inhibitors rather than conventional immunosuppressive therapy and can significantly reduce the number of ischemic strokes in these patients.
Surgical care
Surgery may be necessary for gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations of polyarteritis nodosa, including bowel ischemia, cholecystitis, and appendicitis. Micro coil embolization of cerebral aneurysm may be indicated. Postsurgical care may be needed for patients with polyarteritis nodosa who develop bowel infarction.
Side effects of the treatment
Immunosuppressive medications can have side effects like mood changes, infection or swelling, hepatic weakness, splenic weakness and diseases, renal diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory tract diseases etc. Watching for side effects helps prevent or minimize them.
Patient may tolerate treatment at first, but then not do well over time. This makes it important to do ongoing monitoring. In some cases, doctor may need to watch his patient for long-term effects even after stopping the medication.
It is harder to fight an infection while taking immunosuppressants. Some vaccines could be seriously dangerous for your patient (risk of getting an infection like the flu or pneumonia).
Prognosis with allopathic treatment
For some people, polyarteritis nodosa comes on little by little. For others, it can get worse quickly and be fatal in just a few months. People who have symptoms in their digestive systems, hearts, kidneys and/or central nervous systems have a worse prognosis than those who don’t.
Although polyarteritis nodosa can be a sudden and serious illness, many people with polyarteritis nodosa do extremely well. The severity of their illness affects how well they do. But they can achieve remission even with the most severe polyarteritis nodosa if a doctor treats him promptly and monitors him closely.
After achieving remission, polyarteritis nodosa can recur or relapse. Estimates of the rate of relapse for polyarteritis nodosa are in the range from 10% to 40%. Symptoms during relapses may be similar to what patient experienced at the time of his diagnosis or they may be different. The treatment for relapses is like that of a newly diagnosed disease. Most people with polyarteritis nodosa can achieve remission again.
If a patient gets allopathic treatment for polyarteritis nodosa, he has at least an 80% chance of living another three to five years.
