Raynaud's Disease
Raynaud's Disease ( 33 Questions)
Warm and flushed skin is not a characteristic finding in Raynaud's disease. Instead, affected areas usually become pale or bluish due to reduced blood flow.
Swollen and tender joints in the fingers are not specific to Raynaud's disease. These symptoms may be indicative of other conditions, such as arthritis.
Ulcers or open sores on the fingertips are a common clinical feature of severe Raynaud's disease. Prolonged vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow can lead to tissue damage and the development of painful ulcers.
The hallmark of Raynaud's disease is color changes in response to cold or stress. The affected areas typically turn pale or bluish (cyanotic) due to decreased blood flow, followed by redness (rubor) when blood flow is restored. Absence of color changes is not characteristic of Raynaud's disease.
