Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Symptoms and Diagnosis

Deep vein thrombosis - usually deep vein thrombosis in the feet - it may seem like many other health problems. Half the time, DVT has no symptoms

If you are over 60, smokers, people who are overweight, those who sit for a long time, if the risk is high, please be aware of the symptoms of the problem. If you think there is a DVT, contact your doctor immediately.

If any of these symptoms are present, especially if the symptoms suddenly appear, please contact the doctor's office immediately.

If there is a clot and it falls freely, it may move to your lungs. This is called pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal. Like DVT, it may not cause symptoms

Your doctor will ask you about your health status, medical history and symptoms, and she will undergo a medical examination. Your doctor will decide if you are at a lower risk of developing DVT or higher. This will help her decide which test to do. It may also need to be tested to solve other problems or to confirm the diagnosis

D dimer test When the clot begins to collapse, look for D dimers appearing in the blood. If you have a thrombus, the level will be higher

Double-sided ultrasound This test is not harmful, it does not put anything in your body, and it does not have the same radiation as X-rays. After painting the warm gel on your skin, the technician scrapes the wand to the part where it seems that thrombosis is possible. The wand sends a sound wave to your body and hands the echo to the computer. The computer takes photos of blood vessels and sometimes takes pictures of blood clots. Radiologists and specially trained people have to look at the images to explain what happened

Venous angiography This is a special type of X-ray. The doctor injected radioactive dyes into the veins of the feet to help him look at your vein, perhaps a thrombus.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) You are lying on a slide, and radio waves and powerful magnetic fields create detailed pictures of your body in your computer. (You hear a large tap or knock during the test.) It is necessary to shoot so that the blood vessel looks better.

It can find DVT in the pelvis and thighs. And your doctor can see both feet at the same time. However, MRI is much more expensive than other tests.

Deep vein thrombosis or deep vein thrombosis is a thrombus formed deep within the body. Most deep vein thrombosis occurs in calves or thighs. If the vein is swollen, it is called thrombophlebitis. Deep vein thrombosis ruptures and can cause serious lung problems called pulmonary embolism.

In deep vein thrombosis (DVT), thrombosis is formed in the main deep veins of the legs, thighs, pelvis, or abdomen, and the venous blood flow is reduced, resulting in swelling and pain in the legs. DVT also occurs in the upper limbs and brain. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) includes DVT and pulmonary embolism. This monograph focuses on lower limb DVT

VTE is a term used to describe two clinical symptoms: deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). When DVT occurs in the deep vein and a thrombus or thrombus is formed, blood flow is usually restricted. Pulmonary embolism may occur when the thrombus moves and enters the lungs. Michota (2007) noted that VTE is considered the most common preventable cause of hospital-related deaths. Symptomatic VTE is a serious health problem. In Australia, VTE affects approximately 15,000 people and is estimated to cause more than 5000 death annually (Access Economics 2008). The financial burden on VTE for medical systems is considerable, estimated at an estimated $ 1.72 billion (Access Economics 2008). Symptomatic PE causes sudden death in about 25% of cases (Heit et al. 2001)
