Abstract
VALDES-DUPEYRON, Osvaldo et al. Clinical humoral correlation with deep venous thrombosis diagnosis with ultrasonography. Rev. mex. angiol. [online]. 2022, vol.50, n.3, pp.84-89. Epub Oct 13, 2022. ISSN 2696-130X. https://doi.org/10.24875/rma.22000022.
Background:
Deep vein thrombosis is part of the thromboembolic venous disorders, which additionally include superficial thrombophlebitis and pulmonary thromboembolism.
Objective:
To correlate the risk factors, clinical manifestations, and value of D-dimer in blood with the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis by Doppler ultrasound.
Material and methods:
A retrospective, descriptive and correlational cross-sectional study was carried out that included 73 patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis.
Result:
The diagnosis of venous thrombosis was confirmed in 69 patients, with a higher incidence in women between 21 and 40 years old. A correlation was found between the clinic and high values of D-dimer with diagnostic confirmation of venous thrombosis by ultrasound (p ≈ 0.000). Pregnancy showed a correlation with diagnostic confirmation (p = 0.043).
Conclusions:
A significant correlation was found between pregnant women, clinical manifestations, and D-dimer value with the diagnosis of venous thrombosis by Doppler ultrasound.
