Question: 1. Buerger's diseaseFor this disease pathology, please provide the following information:What causes this disorder (pathology)? Are there any threats to life risks associated with this disease that you should watch out for, and why? (Not all terms will have life-threatening conditions associated with them)What types of lab work or diagnostic testing (ECG, X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, etc.) would you typically see ordered with this disease?What would you expect to see in the lab or diagnostic results?What are the most common treatments?Which treatments would be the most important or take priority?

In this question asked about buerger's disease . It also known as thromboangiitis obliterans. In this condition blood vessels becomes narrow due to thrombus formation in the small sized blood vessels ( arteries and veins ) Q.1 The exact etiology is unknown. But the major risk factor associated with buerger's disease is Smoking. Due to smoking the chemical compounds enter in the blood vessels. It causes irritation of wall of blood vessels. Due to irritation swelling and thrombus formation occurs. This thrombus causes narrowing of blood vessels. Due to thrombus formation following risk is present :- 1. Necrosis of the distal parts of the extrimities. 2. If the clot becomes dislodged then it can cause pulmonary embolism , myocardial infarction and stroke. Q.2 Diagnostic tests for buerger's disease :- To rule out buerger's disease following criteria should be present :- 1. Age below 50 years. 2. Smoking history. 3. Infrapopliteal arterial occlusion . 4. Absence of atherosclerotic risk factors other then smoking. After fulfilling above criteria other tests can be done to detect blopd flow in the extrimities. 1. Allen test :- In this test arteries of the hand is compressed so blood supply to hand is reduced so arm becomes cool and pale. Then one artery is released and if the hand immediately becomes pink or red it indicates normal arterial functioning. 2. Ct scan Q.3 In the diagnostic tests following results will be seen :- 1. In Allen test when the vessels are compressed and released then the pink color of the hand will occur in more then 3 seconds. 2. CT scan will show Obstruction and narrowing of the blood vessels in the extremities. According to the bartleby guidelines I have answered 3 questions.
