Home Patient Resources Scleroderma Information Sheets Scleroderma Lupus Information Sheets Raynaud's Phenomenon What is it? Raynaud's phenomenon is the name given to the temporary interruption of blood supply to the fingers or toes (though occasionally the ears and nose can also be affected), which occurs as a result of spasm of the arteries bringing the blood to the fingers etc. It is characterised by a series of changes in the colour of the skin. Typically the finger initially becomes white as blood supply is lost, then blue or dusky, and finally pink as blood flow improves and eventually returns to normal. The sequence is of variable duration and can last from minutes to hours. Why is it called that? It is named after the French physician Maurice Raynaud who in 1862 was the first to describe the process and give an explanation for it. Around 5% of the population and up to 20% of women at some time in their life are said to have had an episode of Raynaud's. Some disorders however specifically predispose to the problem. While these conditions are rare, they are important to identify because they are likely to need specific treatment. Included among these disorders are systemic lupus erythematosous (SLE) and scleroderma, where over 90% of patients experience Raynaud's attacks. The "white finger" of chain saw operators is an example of an occupation-related disorder. The arterial spasm which as has been mentioned, is the initial phase of an episode of Raynaud's is most commonly triggered by cold, though emotional upset, the use of some vibrating tools, and certain drugs (including caffeine and cigarettes) can also do this.

Home Patient Resources Scleroderma Information Sheets Scleroderma Lupus Information Sheets Raynaud's Phenomenon Handy Hints Here is a collection of hints that have been collected from many different sources, many of them may be helpful to you in trying to prevent attacks of Raynaud's from occurring. The following tips can help you prevent getting chilled: Always wear a hat : It is true that you lose a lot of heat through the top of your head. Covering the head helps to keep the whole body warm by preventing heat from escaping. Dress warmly : Layers of loose clothes trap warm air around your body. Cotton socks worn over wool socks help keep the feet warm and dry. Mittens are warmer than gloves because the fingers keep each other warm. Tight gloves can cut off blood circulation in the fingers. Don't get wet : As water on the skin evaporates, it cools the skin - just the opposite of what you want. Cover up exposed skin : If it is very cold and windy, putting a scarf across your nose and cheeks will protect them and help you breathe better. If you are so cold that it hurts, get inside. The pain in your body is a warning signal. Remember Try to avoid changes in temperature - remember a change in temperature is even more likely to bring on an attack than just being in the cold. Do not sit in draughts.

Z Raynauds phenomenon Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: In Raynaud's phenomenon, exposure to the cold or strong emotions trigger blood vessel spasms that result in interruption of blood flow to the fingers, toes, ears, and nose. Raynaud's phenomenon can occur without any other associated symptoms or disease. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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
