Best Deep Vein Thrombosis Treatment in Gurgaon by DVT Doctors

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of DVT is important to identify which treatment method would be ideal for the patient. To determine the severity of the condition, the doctor will first perform a physical exam and check the areas of swelling.

If your doctor thinks that you are at high risk of developing DVT, they will use the following tests for accurate diagnosis:

D-dimer Blood Test- D dimer is a specific type of protein that is produced by blood clots. So, when a person has DVT, the levels of this protein increase significantly. This test helps to measure the levels of D dimer and the results will determine whether you are at risk of pulmonary embolism or not.
Duplex Ultrasound- It is a non-invasive test in which ultrasound waves are used to create pictures of the blood flow through the veins. A transducer is used in the procedure which is moved over the body to study each part of the body clearly. For accurate results, the doctor may suggest performing the exam over several days to see if a blood clot is growing or new ones are forming.
MRI Scan- The magnetic resonance imaging scan help to identify if DVT is present in the veins of the abdomen.
Venography- This test is rarely done as it is invasive but sometimes it becomes necessary to use this method of diagnosis. A dye is injected into the large veins in the ankle or foot to create images of the veins and look for clots.

The results of these tests will determine how promptly you need treatment for DVT.

Surgery

After assessing the severity of DVT, the doctor will suggest the most appropriate treatment method. The goals of DVT treatment are to prevent the clot from growing, breaking loose, traveling to the lungs, and to reduce your chances of having deep vein thrombosis in other or same part of your body.
