What symptom picture is angiitis?

The pain was relieved immediately after the rest. After walking again, the symptoms appear again, which is called intermittent claudication. With the development of the disease, walking distance gradually shortened. This is due to the increase of muscle oxygen demand after walking. The skin temperature of the affected limb was lower, the skin color was paler, and the pulse of dorsalis pedis artery or (and) posterior tibial artery was weakened. There is often migratory thrombophlebitis.

In addition to the aggravation of the above symptoms, the limb was severely ischemic, and the rest pain was more severe. The pain was severe and lasted for a long time. The patient bent his knees and sat with his feet day and night, and could not sleep at night. The food intake was reduced, the physical strength was declining, and the body was obviously emaciated. If concurrent local infection, fever, chills, irritability and other systemic toxic blood symptoms can appear.

Limb tissue ischemia is more serious, resulting in ulcers or gangrene. Most of them are dry gangrene, the toe (finger) end is dry and black, and can extend to the proximal end. After the necrotic tissue falls off, it forms a long-lasting ulcer. If secondary infection, it was wet gangrene. According to the scope of gangrene, it can be divided into three grades: Grade A, gangrene is limited to the toe (finger); Gangrene extends to the metatarsal joint and metatarsal part; Gangrene extends to the heel, ankle or above.
