Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Wegener's granulomatosis is a vasculitis, suggestive of inflammation of the blood vessels.
It requires treatment with steroids, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate under guidance of a specialist like rheumatologist.
As you are staying in Chennai, you can consult a good rheumatologist who will treat your friend.
If necessary he will refer to higher center.
Hope I have answered your query.
'Regards.
