This can be a result of not moving for a long time which is also known as staying sedentary. ]]> 2018-04-17 19:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/340815/km6el3mtmzfi/wish/252762510 Possible Complications 340815 https://padlet.com/340815/km6el3mtmzfi/wish/252763770 Deep Vein Thrombosis can cause leg swelling but can occur with no symptoms. This can be caused by anything that prevents your blood from clotting normally such as injury to a vein, surgery, etc.]]> 2018-04-17 20:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/340815/km6el3mtmzfi/wish/252763770 Symptoms 340815 https://padlet.com/340815/km6el3mtmzfi/wish/252764138 -Swelling in the affected leg
-cramping
-soreness
-red or discolored skin
-feeling of warmth in the affected leg]]> 2018-04-17 20:05:10 UTC https://padlet.com/340815/km6el3mtmzfi/wish/252764138 Treatment 340815 https://padlet.com/340815/km6el3mtmzfi/wish/252765343 The treatment includes medications and use of compression stockings. 
-Compression stockings are elastic hosiery that squeeze blood up the legs to prevent swelling and blood clots. 
- Medications blood thinners it helps prevent blood clots from forming or helps dissolve existing clots 
-warfarin 
- heparin
-Apixaban 
-Fondaparinux 
-Rivaroxaban 
-Dalteparin]]> 2018-04-17 20:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/340815/km6el3mtmzfi/wish/252765343 Prognosis 340815 https://padlet.com/340815/km6el3mtmzfi/wish/252765366
  • Without anticoagulation, the risk recurrence of VTE (DVT or PE) is thought to be 50% within three months of a PE. Risk of recurrence within the first year of a VTE following three months of anticoagulation is thought to be 8%.
  • The most serious complication of DVT is PE. The risk of PE is higher in proximal clots. Thrombosis of the iliofemoral veins carries a worse prognosis with increased incidence of late clinical complications such as post-thrombotic syndrome
  • Post-thrombotic syndrome is a chronic venous hypertension, which may result in pain, swelling, hyperpigmentation, dermatitis, ulcers, gangrene and lipodermatosclerosis.
  • It affects 20-40% of patients after DVT of the lower limb and can have a significant impact on quality of life.
