Abstract
We read the article “Takayasu's Arteritis in a Libyan Female” in the esteemed “Ibnosina Journal of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences” with great interest. El-Shareif reported the case of an elderly female who presented with low potassium levels and hypertension. An abdominal ultrasound showed renal size asymmetry. A magnetic resonance angiography revealed a thick abdominal aortic artery wall; the left renal artery and left common iliac artery were occluded, and the right common iliac artery and both subclavian arteries had significant stenosis. A diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis (TA) was made. In this way, this case was important because TA is a disease common in east Asians, but only rarely encountered in Arab populations.[[1]]
