Advances in anti-inflammatory therapy for Livedoid vasculopathy
Livedoid vasculopathy is a type of vascular disorder with unclear etiology and patho-genesis,in addition to the lack of standardized diagnostic and treatment guidelines.Currently,it is believed that the development of this disease is associated with blood hypercoagulability and in-flammation.However,studies also suggest the involvement of immune and inflammatory reactions in its pathogenesis.And anti-inflammatory therapy is effective.The drugs used for the treatment of livedoid vasculopathy include plant alkaloids(colchicine,tripterygium glycosides),glucocorti-coids,JAK inhibitors,adalimumab,intravenous immunoglobulins and anti-inflammatory drugs.This review aims to summarize the anti-inflammatory therapy and methods for livedoid vasculopa-thy,providing references for clinicians in the management of this disorder.
