Telangiectasia can be a symptom of a disease. Most of those disorders can be diagnosed by history and physical examination.
Medical history questions documenting telangiectasia in detail may include:
- Is the condition visible?
- Where is it located exactly?
- Do the vessels bleed easily?
- Do they bleed spontaneously?
- What other symptoms are also present?
Physical examination is usually limited to a dermatologic examination.
Various X-rays, CT scans or MRI scans, and liver function studies, or other blood studies may be indicated. The specific tests will depend on the suspected disease.
