ALU 201 Exam Questions And Correct Answers
Large vessel vasculitides
Temporal (Giant Cell) arteritis, Takayasu's Arteritis (TA)
Thromboangiitis Obliterans (Buergers disease) effects mainly the
Tibial and Radial arteries
Thromboangiitis Obliterans (Buergers Disease) is a vasculitis strongly associated
with
Cigarette smoking
symptoms/tests that form dx of Wegeners
blood test to identify the autoantibody ANCA, active urinary sediment, elevated
ESR, unexplained anemia, recurrent symptoms
70% of individuals w/ Wegeners eventually develop
Glomerulonephritis
,Wegeners Granulomatosis (WG) primarily affects the
lungs and kidneys
classic symptom (hallmark) of PAN
postprandial periumbilical pain (intestinal angina)
organ systems most commonly involved w/ polyarteritis nodosa (PAN)
skin, peripheral nerves, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys
small/medium vessel vasculitides
polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), Kawasaki syndrome (KS), wegeners granulomatosis
(WG), thromboangitis (buerger disease)
atypical presentations of secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon that suggest an
underlying cause
age over 40, male, disease manifestations proximal to distal digits, severe painful
attacks resulting in ischemic ulcers of digits
, fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) typically affects
medium and large arteries of young/middle aged females
greatest success rate for PTA is when it is utilized for
aortoiliac stenosis
percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is utilized for
focal short segment occlusions, more extensive disease segments, poor surgical
candidates
definitive diagnostic tool for PAD usually reserved for severe cases
angiography
most accurate quick and non invasive way to diagnose peripheral arterial
disease
ankle-brachial index test
