Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Inflammation may play a role in pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism, but the nature of this relationship is not yet understood. The objective of this study was to assess whether inflammation marker levels measured at diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and change in levels during the first month after DVT are associated with anatomic extent of DVT and severity of venous signs and symptoms at baseline and 1 month.
