Description

Upper extremity arteriography is an imaging test to diagnose arm or hand circulation problems like blockages or injuries, with costs typically ranging ¥2000–¥5000 in China; ChinaMedicalHub helps coordinate hospital appointments and interpreter support.

Main Uses

Upper limb arteriography is primarily used for: 1) Diagnosing peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the arms, 2) Evaluating the extent and location of arterial blockages, 3) Planning surgical or interventional procedures, 4) Assessing the effectiveness of previous treatments, 5) Investigating unexplained pain, numbness, or weakness in the upper limbs, 6) Identifying the source of bleeding or vascular anomalies.

Normal Range

For upper limb arteriography, the normal range typically indicates unobstructed blood flow with no significant narrowing or blockages in the arteries. The images should show smooth, continuous arterial pathways without any irregularities, stenosis, or occlusions. There are no specific numerical values as this is an imaging test, but the absence of abnormalities such as plaques, clots, or other obstructions is expected.

Low Values - Possible Causes

Low values or findings indicating reduced blood flow can be caused by: 1) Atherosclerosis leading to arterial narrowing, 2) Thrombosis or embolism causing partial or complete blockage, 3) Vasculitis resulting in inflammation and narrowing of the arteries, 4) Trauma or injury to the artery, 5) Congenital anomalies affecting arterial structure or function.

High Values - Possible Causes

High values or findings indicating increased blood flow or abnormal conditions can be due to: 1) Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), 2) Fistulas between arteries and veins, 3) Tumors or masses that increase blood supply, 4) Infections or abscesses that cause vascular changes, 5) Hyperemia or increased blood flow due to inflammation or other conditions.
