How does angiitis get? Look at the staging!

summary

Vasculitis, known as "thromboangiitis obliterans", is an allergic inflammation that occurs in blood vessels, leading to segmental stenosis and occlusion of small and medium-sized arteries, limb loss of nutrition, ulceration and necrosis. It is a relatively stubborn vascular disease, not an inflammatory manifestation of the vascular wall itself, and has no relationship with bacterial infection. In traditional Chinese medicine, thromboangiitis obliterans belongs to the category of "gangrene". Angiitis does great harm to patients. It is easy to cause limb disability and even endanger patients' lives. Some patients need amputation during treatment. Many patients do not understand the treatment of amputation. In addition to amputation, how to treat vasculitis? No matter what the disease is, different stages, treatment methods are different, vasculitis is no exception, in different stages, treatment methods are different, for different symptoms of vasculitis, the main treatment methods are as follows:

How does angiitis get? Look at the staging!

First: in the early stage of vasculitis, the extremities were cold, afraid of cold, numbness, mild pain and intermittent claudication. The skin color of the toe (finger) turned pale, the skin temperature was low, and the reddening test was positive. The fluctuation of peripheral artery is weakened or disappeared, and some patients may have superficial migratory thrombophlebitis repeatedly. The treatment principle is to improve the limb ischemia and avoid aggravation. In addition, conservative treatment can include oral administration of Liuwei Tongmai capsule, external washing of traditional Chinese medicine, foot bath, physiotherapy and intravascular perfusion.

Second: in the middle stage of angiitis, the affected limb is cold, afraid of cold, numbness, pain and intermittent claudication aggravate, with rest pain, severe pain at night, holding the foot and sitting, sleepless all night. Therefore, the mid-term treatment of vasculitis needs to improve blood supply, promote the improvement of limb nutrition, and avoid gangrene. Hebei Youai Hospital experts suggest that stem cell transplantation and angiogenesis therapy can be used to establish rich collateral circulation and improve limb ischemia symptoms. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, the application of convergence, defibrasion, dilation drugs combined with oral Tongmai capsule, Chinese medicine washing, foot bath, physical therapy; intravascular perfusion, direct administration through the artery, a short period of time to open the blood vessels, maintain vascular recanalization.

Third: in the late stage of vasculitis, due to severe ischemia of the affected limbs, ulcers or gangrene often start from the toes and gradually spread upward. Gangrene is dry or wet, most of which are limited to the toes or feet, and can also affect the ankle or leg. Gangrene of sole dorsum or heel is related to trauma and external use of stimulants. Gangrene combined with infection, limb ulceration, there are severe pain, high temperature, fuzzy consciousness, loss of appetite. Gangrenous toes fall off, leaving ulcers on the surface that are hard to heal for a long time. In the treatment, we need to improve the limb ischemia, promote wound healing and avoid amputation. In patients with severe limb necrosis, strengthen treatment to reduce the amputation plane, so as to leave as much limb function as possible.

matters needing attention

The diet of patients with vasculitis should be light, nutritious food, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink more water, eat more black fungus, eat less or do not eat sticky food, such as millet flour, rice cake, sesame sugar and so on, these foods can make blood viscosity increase, blood flow speed is slow, and cause thrombosis, make the already narrow artery completely blocked. The diet precautions of patients with vasculitis remind patients to eat less spicy food, such as pepper, garlic and so on. Food utensils with the function of promoting blood circulation, such as ginger, chicken, duck, hawthorn, etc., should be taken hot, avoid raw and cold, avoid astringent and astringent products, and drink less. Eat more warm tonic food, which is conducive to warming meridians and dredging collaterals. Avoid spicy, barbecue, fatty, sweet and fishy hair and other products to help damp heat; drink chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle dew, or use lotus leaf and bamboo leaf Decoction instead. The key to the treatment of vasculitis is to repair damaged blood vessels or regenerate blood vessels. To this end, Hebei Youai hospital has carried out stem cell transplantation therapy. This therapy is mainly to establish collateral circulation in the treatment of vasculitis, with no obvious adverse reactions and significant therapeutic effect. It opens up a new way for the treatment of lower limb ischemic disease, avoids the suffering of amputation to the maximum extent, and improves the quality of life of patients Quality of life. The protection and heat preservation of affected limbs should avoid fatigue, bumping, smashing and frostbite; shoes and socks should be loose; keep warm and cold. Keep the affected limbs clean and sanitary to avoid skin irritation and damage. It is forbidden to wash feet with cold water or superheated water. Cold can cause vasoconstriction and spasm, aggravate the disease, overheat and promote the progress of the disease. Strengthen the exercise of limb function, adhere to appropriate activities, promote lower limb blood circulation, prevent joint contracture, muscle atrophy; if suffering from thrombophlebitis, raise the bed foot 15cm, local hot compress, compression and stimulation of gastrocnemius, accelerate the amount of heart blood, can reduce the swelling of lower limb.
