Buerger's Disease Diagnosis

The diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, including a history of heavy tobacco users, symptoms of limb ischemia, and the presence of blood clots in the small and medium blood vessels. Imaging studies and histological evaluations may also be utilized.

There are no definitive laboratory tests for Buerger's disease. Diagnosis often involves ruling out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, including critical limb ischemia and other vascular diseases.

While there is no cure, effective management strategies focus on smoking cessation, managing symptoms to treat pain, and promoting ulcer healing. In severe cases, surgical options may be considered.
