Description
Mesenteric arteriography is an imaging test to diagnose abdominal pain, bleeding, or vascular issues by visualizing blood flow in the intestines; costs ¥300–700 at partner hospitals in China, with ChinaMedicalHub assisting with booking and interpreter support.
Main Uses
The primary purpose of mesenteric angiography is to diagnose and evaluate conditions affecting the blood vessels supplying the intestines. It is used to detect blockages, narrowing (stenosis), or dilations (aneurysms) in the mesenteric arteries. This test is particularly useful in diagnosing acute and chronic mesenteric ischemia, planning for surgical or interventional procedures, and assessing the effectiveness of treatments.
Normal Range
Mesenteric angiography does not have a specific numerical normal range as it is an imaging test. The normal finding would be the visualization of unobstructed, smooth, and well-defined mesenteric arteries without any stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low values or findings in mesenteric angiography are typically not applicable since this is an imaging test. However, conditions that might lead to underperfusion or poor visualization could include: dehydration, low blood pressure, technical issues with the imaging process, or very slow blood flow due to severe stenosis or occlusion.
High Values - Possible Causes
High values or abnormal findings in mesenteric angiography can indicate: arterial stenosis, occlusion, aneurysms, vasculitis, or other vascular abnormalities. These conditions may restrict or alter blood flow to the intestines.
