Lack Of Blood Vessels
|
|
Lack of blood vessels is not a condition that occurs by its own, it is caused by blocked blood vessels. The blocking of blood vessels can be brought about in a number of ways. If yellow fatty streaks full of cholesterol get deposited on the walls of the artery, there is a formation of a blood clot or inflammation. Blocked blood vessels restrict the amount of blood reaching the tissues, affecting the way they function. After a period of time the bloodless tissues decay and/or die. The tissues also become more prone to infection since they lack blood, which acts as a defense mechanism against the entry of pathogen or disease causing microorganisms. Lack of blood vessels can also be as a result of their narrowing due to the exposure of the body to low temperature particularly those below zero degrees Celsius. Lack of blood vessels could be due to injury, infection, or disease. Diseases associated with this condition include gangrene, Buerger's disease, Raynaud's disease, and Necrotizing Fasciitis. It is also observed in-patients with Atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. |
