DESCRIPTION  Raynaud's disease and phenomenon are circulatory disorders. During an attack, blood vessels narrow. This causes blood flow to the fingers and sometimes ears, nose, and lips to be severely reduced. Cold temperatures or emotional stress, such as excitement or nervousness, are the usual causes of attacks. Although blood vessels naturally become narrower under these circumstances, Raynaud's is an abnormally exaggerated response. |

Raynaud's Disease (RD): progressive, symmetrical. Involves fingers; rarely toes. Ages 15 to 45. Spasm is more frequent, more severe with time. No gangrene; rarely ulcerates. Diagnose only after 2 years if no underlying associated disease. May be associated with coronary vasospasm or primary pulmonary hypertension. No histologic abnormality found in digital arteries.
-
Raynaud's Phenomenon (RP): may be unilateral, asymmetric; may affect only one or two fingers. Underlying condition usually identifiable with time. Usually has a worse morbidity and prognosis than primary disease.
|
You can have Raynaud's without any underlying disease associated with it, in which case it's called Raynaud's disease or primary Raynaud's. Or it can be part of another disease, in which case doctors may refer to it as Raynaud's phenomenon or secondary Raynaud's. |
Raynaud's affects a small percentage of Americans. Women are more likely than men are to have the disorder. It's more common in people who live in colder climates. |
Raynaud's phenomenon can be associated with diseases of the arteries such as Buerger's disease and atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and systemic lupus erythematosus. It can also follow repeated trauma, particularly vibrations such as those caused by typing or playing the piano. An overdose of ergot compounds or methysergide may also be a cause of Raynaud's phenomenon. |
Strong emotion or exposure to the cold causes the fingers, toes, ears or nose to become white, due to a lack of blood flow in the area. They then turn blue, which is a result of tiny blood vessels dilating to allow more blood to remain in the tissues. When the flow of blood returns, the area becomes red and then later returns to normal color. There may be associated tingling, swelling, and painful throbbing. The attacks may last from minutes to hours. |
Doctors classify Raynaud's phenomenon as either the primary or the secondary form. In medical literature, "primary Raynaud's phenomenon" may also be called Raynaud's disease, idiopathic Raynaud's phenomenon, or primary Raynaud's syndrome. The terms idiopathic and primary both mean that the cause is unknown. |
-
Primary Raynaud's Phenomenon - Most people who have Raynaud's phenomenon have the primary form (the milder version). A person who has primary Raynaud's phenomenon has no underlying disease or associated medical problems. More women than men are affected, and approximately 75 percent of all cases are diagnosed in women who are between 15 and 40 years old. People who have only vasospastic attacks for several years, without involvement of other body systems or organs, rarely have or will develop a secondary disease (that is, a connective tissue disorder such as scleroderma) later. Several researchers who studied people who appeared to have primary Raynaud's phenomenon over long periods of time found that less than 9 percent of these people developed a secondary disease.
-
Secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon - Although secondary Raynaud's phenomenon is less common than the primary form, it is often a more complex and serious disorder. Secondary means that patients have an underlying disease or condition that causes Raynaud's phenomenon. Connective tissue diseases are the most common cause of secondary Raynaud's phenomenon. Some of these diseases reduce blood flow to the digits by causing blood vessel walls to thicken and the vessels to constrict too easily. Raynaud's phenomenon is seen in approximately 85 to 95 percent of patients with scleroderma and mixed connective tissue disease, and it is present in about one-third of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Raynaud's phenomenon also can occur in patients who have other connective tissue diseases, including Sjogren's syndrome, dermatomyositis, and polymyositis.
