Cyanosis
Cyanosis: Introduction
Further information about Cyanosis is below, or review more specific
information about these types of Cyanosis:
blue skin, purple skin, Ankle blueness, Arm blueness, Back blueness, Breast blueness, Buttock blueness, Calf blueness
or other types.
Cyanosis is a severe condition indicating a lack of oxygen
in the blood supply.
This can arise due to various severe illnesses that inhibit
circulation or oxygen takeup.
Localized cyanosis can also occur in areas of poor circulation
such as the hands and fingers in Raynaud's phenomenon.
Cyanosis may also be described as purple skin or dark skin in some cases.
Any form of cyanosis needs medical investigation....more »

Diagnostic tests for Cyanosis:
Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Cyanosis. Some of these are listed below :
- Physical examination
- Temperature, Blood pressure and pulse rate - to assess possible shock.
- Cardiovascular examination for murmur or enlarged heart - may suggest rheumatic carditis, congenital heart disease or congestive heart failure.
- Examine for reduced or absent peripheral pulses, cool peripheries, absence of hairs on peripheries to diagnose peripheral vascular disease
- Examine respiratory system for any lung causes of cyanosis
- If blue hands; examine for finger tip ulcers which may be a complication of Raynaud's phenomenon and also examine for any signs of rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, polyarteritis nodosa, Buerger's disease, polycythaemia, leukemia, polymyositis and dermatomyositis that may cause Raynaud's phenomenon

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Cyanosis.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you noticed that you have cyanosis?
Why: to determine if acute or chronic.
- Is the cyanosis central or peripheral?
Why: Central cyanosis means that there is an abnormal amount of hemoglobin in the arterial blood without oxygen and the blue discoloration is present in parts of the body with good circulation such as the tongue. Peripheral cyanosis occurs when the blood supply to a certain part of the body is reduced e.g. lips in cold weather are blue but the tongue is spared. If central cyanosis is the problem must consider a problem with the cardiovascular or respiratory system.
- Is it localized or generalized?
- If generalized, which areas of the body does it affect?
- Is the blueness limited to one limb?
Why: may suggest an arterial or venous thrombosis.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Cyanosis) may include:
- Blue tongue?
Why: may indicate central cyanosis which is due to a lack of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood vessels and thus may indicate high altitude, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary embolism, cyanotic congenital heart disease, polycythaemia or hemoglobin abnormalities. Any cause of central cyanosis can also cause peripheral cyanosis and thus blue skin.
- Blue peripheries?
Why: may indicate exposure to cold, left ventricular failure, shock, arterial obstruction, venous obstruction or any of the causes of central cyanosis.
- Significant shortness of breath?
Why: should consider a lung or heart origin for the cyanosis e.g. cyanotic congenital heart disease, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema or asthma.
- Stridor?
Why: may suggest croup, foreign body.
- Symptoms of Raynaud's phenomenon (if blue hands)?
Why: e.g. sequential discoloration of the digits from pallor to blueness to redness upon exposure to cold. When fingers become red they are painful.

Misdiagnosis and Cyanosis

from the skin disorder called psoriasis can often go undiagnosed.
The main problem is that psoriasis is rare in children, and not often
seen by physicians for this reason.
