What does ITAS2010 measure in Takayasu arteritis?

ITAS2010 scores disease activity across vascular (new pulse deficit, blood pressure discrepancy, new bruit), constitutional (weight loss, fatigue, fever), and laboratory items. Score ≥2 indicates active disease. It replaced the older NIH criteria for clinical trials.

How is Takayasu arteritis activity distinguished from damage?

ITAS2010 measures active inflammation whereas TADS (Takayasu Arteritis Damage Score) captures irreversible organ damage. Both are required for complete disease assessment. Imaging (PET-CT, MRI angiography) complements clinical scoring.
