Keringészavar

Keringészavar, often translated as circulatory disorder or circulation problem, refers to a wide range of medical conditions that affect the body's circulatory system. This system, comprised of the heart, blood vessels, and blood, is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, while also removing waste products. When the circulatory system is not functioning properly, it can lead to various health issues.

There are two main categories of keringészavar: arterial and venous. Arterial disorders involve problems with the arteries, which carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Examples include atherosclerosis, where plaque builds up inside the arteries, narrowing them and restricting blood flow, and peripheral artery disease (PAD), which commonly affects the legs. Venous disorders, on the other hand, affect the veins, which return deoxygenated blood to the heart. Conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a deep vein, and varicose veins are examples of venous keringészavar.

Symptoms of keringészavar can vary greatly depending on the specific condition and its severity. Common signs may include pain, numbness, coldness in the extremities, swelling, skin discoloration, and in severe cases, tissue damage or loss. Risk factors for developing these disorders include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history, and diagnostic tests such as ultrasound, angiography, or blood tests. Treatment aims to manage symptoms, improve blood flow, and prevent complications, and may involve lifestyle changes, medication, or surgical procedures.
