Symptoms and signs of vasculitis?

summary

Vasculitis in medicine is the full name of thromboangiitis obliterans, which is a chronic disease, patients will appear pain, intermittent claudication and other symptoms, and the development of serious disease may lead to limb ulcers and necrosis, so patients must be treated in time to avoid the development of serious disease, vasculitis symptoms and signs? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Symptoms and signs of vasculitis?

First: cold and abnormal sensation: cold limbs and fear of cold are common early symptoms. The surface temperature of the affected part decreased, especially at the toe (finger) end. Because the nerve endings are affected by ischemia, the affected limbs (toes and fingers) may have abnormal sensation such as callose sensation, acupuncture sensation, numbness or burning.

Second: pain: it is also an early symptom. It originates from arterial spasm. It is caused by stimulation of nerve terminal receptor organs in vascular wall and surrounding tissues. Generally, the pain is not severe. Change of skin color: the skin is pale due to arterial ischemia, and the skin becomes thin due to the weakening of superficial vascular tension, which may cause flushing or cyanosis.

Third: resting pain: the condition continues to develop, arterial ischemia is more serious, the pain is intense and persistent, even when the limb is at rest, the pain is still more than, called resting pain. Especially at night, when the limbs are raised, the pain can be alleviated. The patient sat with his knees bent and feet touched day and night, and stayed up all night. Sometimes the affected limb is even hung down beside the bed to relieve the pain. If it is complicated with infection, the pain is more severe.

matters needing attention

1. Avoid smoking and alcohol, because nicotine in tobacco can cause vasospasm and aggravate tissue ischemia. 2. Keep the affected limb warm and dry, avoid cold and humid stimulation, so as to avoid vasospasm and aggravating limb ischemia and hypoxia. But also not local hot compress, so as not to increase the consumption of local oxygen, aggravating tissue ischemia.
