Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) hi eng nge ni?

A awlsam zawngin sawi ila, Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) hi test awlsam tak, natna nei lo, i ke ruh leh i kut a thisen sang tehna a ni. It mainly checks for peripheral artery disease (PAD) , chu chu i ke thlenga thisen phur thei arteries-ah thau a awm a, chu chuan a ti tawi a ni

Tui pipe khar chuan tui luang chu a ti hniam ang bawkin, kan kea thisen kalna kawng (arteries) te pawh a ti tawi bawk. ABI test hian thisen kal tlahniam hi a teh a ni. I ABI hi i ke ruh thisen sang chu i kut thisen sang nen a zatvea chhut a ni.

Engtikah nge ABI test ka neih ang?

I doctor hian he test hi a order theih chhan hrang hrang a awm. Symptoms i nei thei a, i nei lo thei bawk.

ABI value chhut dan tur

Hei hi a awlsam hle mai. I ankle pressure reading pahnih atanga systolic value sang ber (chu chu pressure number sang ber) i la a, i arm pahnih pressure reading atanga systolic value sang ber nen i then a ni.

Entîr nân, hetiang hian ngaihtuah teh:

• I ke veilam pressure chu 105/65 a ni a, i ke dinglam ah chuan 100/60 a ni.
• I kut veilam pressure chu 130/85 a ni a, i kut dinglam ah chuan 125/80 a ni.

Tunah chuan kekawr (105) atanga hlutna sang ber la in, kut (130) atanga hlutna sang ber nen then ila.

105 ÷ 130 = 0.8 a ni

He value 0.8 atang hian mild PAD i nei tih i sawi thei ang.

A rah chhuah awmzia

ABI value hi a tlangpuiin 1.0 leh 1.3 inkar a ni tur a ni. ABI value 0.9 aia tlem lo chuan PAD i nei tih a tilang.

A chang chuan ABI value hi 1.4 aia sang pawh a ni thei. Chumi awmzia chu tar emaw, zunthlum emaw avanga i thisen kalna kawng (arteries) a khauh (calcified) tihna a ni. Chutiang hunah chuan ABI test ringawt pawh hian PAD i neih leh neih loh a hre chiang thei lo. Chutiang a nih chuan i doctor chuan test dang a ti leh thei a, chu chu toe-brachial index (chu chuan ke ruh ni lovin ke ruh lianah pressure a teh a ni).

Engtikah nge doctor nen inbiakna neih a ngaih?

I result i hmuh nghal loh chuan test order tu doctor nen inbia ang che. I result a zirin test dang emaw, enkawlna dang emaw i mamawh thei bawk.

I ABI chu normal range pawnah a awm chuan he test hi a hun hunah i tih leh a ngai mai thei. Hei hian i doctor chu i PAD a na zual em tih emaw, enkawlna a thawk tha em tih emaw a hriat theih nan a pui ang.
