Information for Patients

How to Refer a Patient to the VCRC Center – For Clinical Care:

The clinical sites of the VCRC welcome the opportunity to evaluate patients with vasculitis and provide comprehensive consultation to referring physicians. Patients may be referred for a variety of reasons including:

  1. Second opinion regarding a diagnosis;
  2. Advice regarding further evaluation and management;
  3. Assumption of care; and
  4. Evaluation for potential participation in any of several ongoing research studies.

The clinicians at the VCRC Centers are quite experienced in the co-management of patients with referring positions from a variety of medical specialties. We welcome the opportunity to have an initial comprehensive evaluation and then periodically re-evaluate the patient, but leave the day-to-day management to the referring physician. Often these re-evaluations can coincide with research visits.
