It also provides general information on vasculitis signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and remission.\u00a0 And, it includes a \u201ctear off\u201d mail-in portion which can be used for donations, and for new members to join VFC.<\/p>\n
This new version provides an impressive list of specialist doctors who can provide patients with informed vasculitis care from coast to coast in Canada.\u00a0 This list includes Rheumatologists, Nephrologists, ENT\u2019s, Respirologists, Paediatricians, and others who treat vasculitis and are partners in the CanVasc Network.<\/p>\n
