Theres no test to determine if you have

Buergers disease. However, there are tests


your doctor can perform to rule out other
conditions. A simple blood test can help
your physician pinpoint whether your
symptoms are from lupus, diabetes, or
blood clotting disorders, which can display
the same symptoms as Buergers disease.
In some cases, an angiogram, which
checks the health of your arteries, may be
necessary. In this test, your doctor injects a
dye into your artery and then performs an
X-ray of the area to view blockages in your
arteries.
Another test your doctor may perform is
called an Allen test. This is a noninvasive
test that requires you to make a tight fist
while your doctor presses on the artery of
your hand. When you open your fist and
your doctor releases the pressure from the
artery, your hand should quickly turn from

pale to its original color. If the color changes


slowly, this might be a sign of Buergers
disease.
