| 영문 | Buerger disease | 한글 | 버거병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 말초 동맥과 정맥에 염증을 일으키는 병. 청장년층의 남자에게 잘 걸리는 다리 동맥에 생기는 병으로 동맥이 막히고 통증 때문에 발을 절기도 하는데 원인은 알려져 있지 않다. 병명은 이 병을 최초로 상세하게 보고한 미국의 의사 L. 버거(1879~1943)의 이름에서 연유한다. 동양인에게 많은 병으로, 대부분 젊은 남성, 특히 장년기 남성에게서 나타난다. 원인은 알 수 없으나 흡연이 병의 악화를 초래한다. 사지의 동맥과 정맥에 염증이 일어나 혈전이 생기면 내강을 막아 혈액이 흐르지 못하게 되어 그 앞의 말초조직이 괴사에 빠지거나 손발이 차갑고, 손가락-발가락이 보라색 또는 검은색으로 변한다. 또, 이 증세가 계속되는 동안 손발가락에 통증이 일어나고 궤양이 발생한다. 치료는 증세의 정도와 폐색된 혈관의 부위에 따라 연고를 바르거나 혈관확장제-순환개선제-혈소판응집억제제를 사용하나, 어떤 치료도 효과가 없을 경우 손발가락의 소절단, 드물게는 무릎 이하의 대절단을 해야 한다. 일반적으로 이 병의 예후는 양호하여 혈류가 회복되고 궤양만 치료되면 재발이 적다. |

Fatigue, weakness and shortness of breath are other symptoms that may be seen in older patients. The spleen may also be enlarged. Treatment includes splenectomy (removal of the spleen). After this is accomplished the life-span of the red blood cells returns to normal. (27 Sep 1997) |

Causes include viral infection (hepatitis D, hepatitis B, hepatitis C), autoimmune disease, drug ingestion or metabolic causes. Chronic active hepatitis will lead to hepatic failure and death in a small percentage of these patients. (27 Sep 1997) |
