DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

INTRODUCTION
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or venous thrombosis is a serious condition in which a blood clot forms in a vein located deep inside the body. A blood clot is a mass or clump of blood that has turned into a solid state. A blood clot can partially or completely block the flow of blood through the vein. Most cases of deep vein thrombosis occur in the lower leg, pelvis, or thigh region. However, it can occur in other parts of the body as well as in the brain, hands, liver, intestines or kidneys. In this article, we are going to explain in detail about deep vein thrombosis.

CAUSES OF DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS
Deep vein thrombosis is caused by the formation of a blood clot. A blood clot causes a blockage in the vein and prevents blood from flowing properly in the body. Blood clotting can occur due to the following reasons:

• Inactivity or reduced mobility.
• Some medicines.

SYMPTOMS OF DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

HOW TO DIAGNOSE DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

• Physical examination – The doctor will do a physical examination of the patient. The patient is asked about his symptoms. The doctor will check for areas of tenderness, swelling, or any change in skin color.
• D-dimer blood test – D-dimer is a type of protein produced by blood clots. In most cases of DVT, the level of D-dimer in the blood increases.
• Duplex ultrasound – This is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to create images of how blood flows through the veins. This is the standard test performed to diagnose DVT.
• Venography – Dye is injected into a large vein in the foot or ankle. To look for the presence of blood clots, an X-ray creates clear images of the veins in the legs and feet. Since this is an invasive test, it is rarely done.
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan – This is an imaging test done to get clear images of nerves in the internal organs of the body. It is used to diagnose DVT in the abdominal (abdominal) veins.
