• Gangrene

  Digital gangrene due to arterial thrombosis can occur due to a variety of causes. There have been reports of patients who have presented with digital gangrene with no known predisposing factors, but with positive anti-centromere antibodies (ACA). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In advanced cases of arteriosclerosis, a thrombus may fill up whatever channel remains through a vessel, completely blocking off circulation and causing gangrene. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Ascites

  In another case, massive ascites, pleural effusion, and variceal changes of the mesenteric veins owing to portal hypertension were identified, and surgical closure of the shunt was performed 152 days after partial portal arterialization. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  It is uncommon but may be recognized by symptoms of abdominal pain, ascites and hepatomegaly. [news-medical.net]

  Abdominal ultrasound was also able to safely exclude any signs of liver cirrhosis, including ascites or splenomegaly. [bmcsurg.biomedcentral.com]

  This form of thrombosis presents with abdominal pain, ascites and enlarged liver. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Monoclonal antibodies were isolated from ascites by protein A-chromatography. Human immunoglobulins (Igs) were also purified by protein A-chromatography, taking care to collect acid-eluted antibodies in 1 mmol/L Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8. [bloodjournal.org]

• Sweating

  The symptoms and signs of pheochromocytoma include the classic triad of episodic headache, increased sweating, and palpitations. These are as a result of an uncontrolled release of catecholamines. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  For example, symptoms of myocardial infarction mainly include chest pain, dyspnea, diaphoresis (an excessive form of sweating ), weakness, light-headedness, nausea, vomiting, and palpitations. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Leg Pain

  The patient complained of acute leg pain after chemotherapy, and computed tomography revealed multiple thrombi from the thoracic to popliteal arteries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hypercoagulability workup was negative. Pathology samples revealed vasculitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patients presenting with an incomplete occlusion are usually with systemic anticoagulation and a medical workup investigating the cause of the thrombosis [2]. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

Autoimmune workup to look for vasculitis is reasonable if this workup is negative. Hypercoagulable workup should be really limited to the ones that cause arterial thrombosis – see below. II. [errolozdalga.com]

  His physical examination was normal and laboratory workup showed normal levels of liver enzymes, lipase and electrolytes and mild leukocytosis of 11,200 leukocytes/mm3. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

Warfarin treatment was started in the level of INR 2-2,5. ASA with a dose of 100 mg/day was added to the treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It is a dreaded complication and has a dismal prognosis if not promptly recognized and treated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis is severe in homozygous or compound heterozygous patients. Prognosis is good for heterozygous patients. With adequate treatment and monitoring, the risk of thromboembolic disease is markedly reduced. [orpha.net]

Prognosis The results from stenting procedures on the subclavian artery have documented an 87% patency rate after 3 years. [emedicine.medscape.com]
