Acronyms

warning

"elevated ESR (90%)"

Line 15:14 · 'ESR' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"The aetiology of the inflammatory changes is poorly understood and many theories exist. Some believe it is an abnormally severe inflammatory response to the atherosclerotic process in the aorta. Some believe it is an autoimmune disease which is supported by the elevated ESR found in most patients; frequent constitutional symptoms; increased frequency of autoantibodies and other autoimmune diseases; and the not-uncommon family history of inflammatory AAA. Approximately 30% of IgG4-related aortitis involves abdominal aorta ⁴. Others postulate an infectious aetiology."

Line 29:275 · 'ESR' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"Definitive treatment of the aneurysm is performed via EVAR or open surgical repair. Repairing the aneurysm causes varying degrees of regression of the periaortic fibrosis in many patients. Surgery may be necessary if there is entrapment of retroperitoneal structures."
