  1. What Disease Causes The Hands And Feet To Go Blue? Introduction If you or your loved ones are experiencing your hands and feet turn a bluish tinge, it is most likely peripheral cyanosis. Cardiologists in Patna, working at the heart hospital Patna define peripheral cyanosis as a condition in which the hands, fingertips, or feet turn blue because they are not getting enough oxygen-rich blood.

  2. What Causes Peripheral Cyanosis? According to the heart specialists in Patna, certain medical conditions can prevent oxygen-rich blood from reaching parts of the body. Sometimes, people are born with abnormal haemoglobin, which affects the haemoglobin’s ability to bind to oxygen and carry it to the cells. The extremities of the body, which are the farthest away from the heart, i.e. the hands and legs experience cyanosis because the blood has further to travel. Experts at the hospital in Patna, one of the best cardiac hospitals in India

  3. list these conditions as causes of peripheral cyanosis. Have a look:  Raynaud's syndrome: Raynaud's disease is a condition where the blood vessels narrow, preventing blood from reaching the extremities. This causes fingertips and toes become painful and become blue or white in cold temperatures.  Low blood pressure: Low blood pressure or hypotension is when there is not enough pressure to push blood and oxygen to the hands and feet.  Hypothermia: This is where the body temperature drops to dangerously low levels. Hypothermia is a medical emergency.  Vein or artery problems: If a person has problems with their veins or arteries, their bodies may not send enough blood and oxygen

  4. to their hands and feet. Possible causes include venous insufficiency, peripheral vascular disease, or blockages in the veins or arteries.  Heart failure: When a person has heart failure, their heart may not be able to pump blood around the body effectively.  Problems with the lymph system: Lymphatic dysfunction is a condition where the lymph fluid does not flow and drain as it should. This often results in tissues that swell up with lymph fluid.  Deep vein thrombosis: This is caused by clots that form in the veins in the leg or limb extremities.  Hypovolemic shock: When a person experiences hypovolemic shock, their body diverts blood from the skin towards the internal organs.
