What exactly is GCA? Is Wenegers GPA similar?
This link will go someway to explaining a little about GCA/TA poppet2 vasculitis.org.uk/about-vas...

GCA is a type of Vasculitis which is described as a large vessel type of Vasculitis and WG (GPA) is described as a small vessel type of Vasculitis. This link describes the different types. vasculitis.org.uk/about-vas...
There can be a crossover of different types but this is rare.
