Mononeuritis multiplex - ischemia to peripheral nerves
SPARES PULM ARTERIES
30% have HepB antigen (Hep C, HIV)
Can be ANCA +ve - look for transmural inflammation and fibrinoid necrosis of arterial wall

Buerger disease ft
Male <40
Ashkenazi jews
Smoking is biggest risk
Tibial and radial arteries –> intermittent claud + pain in forefoot, ischemic ulcers, loss of digits
Raynauds
Histo: thrombosis in lumnen, but blood v wall is intact
Can extend into nearby artieris, veins and nerves –> fibrosis encases these
