Specialized vasculitis treatment covering ANCA-associated vasculitis, Takayasu arteritis, and Behcet's disease using rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and novel targeted agents. Chinese hospitals have particular expertise in Takayasu arteritis and Behcet's disease, which are more prevalent in East Asian populations. Advanced vascular imaging and biopsy capabilities ensure accurate diagnosis and monitoring.
