Livedoid vasculitis - Vasculitis Livedoid
Vasculitis Livedoid (Livedoid vasculitis) ialah penyakit kulit kronik yang dilihat terutamanya pada wanita muda hingga pertengahan umur. Satu akronim yang digunakan untuk menerangkan ciri-cirinya ialah "ulser purpura yang menyakitkan dengan corak retikular pada bahagian bawah kaki" (UNGGU). Ia dikaitkan dengan beberapa penyakit, termasuk hipertensi vena kronik dan varikos.

Livedoid vasculopathy (LV) is a rare thrombotic vasculopathy of the dermis characterized by painful, relapsing ulcers over the lower extremities. Diagnosis is challenging due to the overlap in clinical appearance and nomenclature with other skin disorders. Treatment selection is complicated by poor understanding of the pathogenesis of LV and lack of robust clinical trials evaluating therapy efficacy. The terminology and pathophysiology of LV are reviewed here, along with its epidemiology, clinical and histologic features, and treatment options. A diagnostic pathway is suggested to guide providers in evaluating for comorbidities, referring to appropriate specialists, and choosing from the available classes of therapy.

Livedoid vasculopathy ialah keadaan kulit yang jarang berlaku yang menyebabkan ulser berulang pada bahagian bawah kaki, meninggalkan parut pucat yang dikenali sebagai atrophie blanche. Walaupun punca sebenar masih tidak jelas, dipercayai bahawa peningkatan pembekuan darah (hypercoagulability) adalah faktor utama, dengan keradangan memainkan peranan kedua. Faktor yang menyumbang kepada pembekuan termasuk seperti berikut - deficiencies in proteins C and S, genetic mutations like factor V Leiden, antithrombin III deficiency, prothrombin gene mutations, high levels of homocysteine. Dalam biopsi, keadaan menunjukkan pembekuan darah di dalam saluran, penebalan dinding saluran, dan parut. Rawatan melibatkan pendekatan pelbagai serampang memfokuskan pada mencegah pembekuan darah dengan ubat-ubatan seperti ubat anti-platelet, penipisan darah dan terapi fibrinolitik. Pelbagai ubat boleh digunakan untuk keadaan kulit ini - colchicine and hydroxychloroquine, vasodilators, immunosuppressants.
Livedoid vasculopathy is a rare skin condition that causes recurring ulcers on the lower legs, leaving behind pale scars known as atrophie blanche. While the exact cause is still unclear, it's believed that increased blood clotting (hypercoagulability) is the main factor, with inflammation playing a secondary role. Factors contributing to clotting include as follows - deficiencies in proteins C and S, genetic mutations like factor V Leiden, antithrombin III deficiency, prothrombin gene mutations, high levels of homocysteine. In biopsies, the condition shows blood clots inside vessels, thickening of vessel walls, and scarring. Treatment involves a multi-pronged approach focusing on preventing blood clots with medications like anti-platelet drugs, blood thinners, and fibrinolytic therapy. Various drugs can be used for this skin condition - colchicine and hydroxychloroquine, vasodilators, immunosuppressants.

Livedoid vasculopathy adalah keadaan yang jarang berlaku di mana lesi berlaku pada kedua-dua kaki. Pembentukan bekuan darah dalam saluran darah kecil dianggap disebabkan oleh peningkatan pembekuan dan pengurangan pecahan beku, bersama-sama dengan kerosakan pada lapisan saluran. Ia lebih kerap berlaku pada wanita, terutamanya antara umur 15 dan 50. Berhenti merokok, menjaga luka dan menggunakan ubat-ubatan seperti ubat pencair darah dan ubat antiplatelet telah berkesan.
Livedoid vasculopathy is a rare vasculopathy that is typically characterized by bilateral lower limb lesions. Increased thrombotic activity and decreased fibrinolytic activity along with endothelial damage are believed to be the cause of thrombus formation in the capillary vasculature. It is 3 times more common in females than in males, especially in patients between the ages of 15 to 50 years. There is no definite first-line treatment, but general measures like smoking cessation, wound care, and pharmacological measures like anticoagulants and antiplatelets have shown good results.
