A study of risk factors of chronic venous insufficiency and its association with features suggestive of preceding or present deep venous thrombosis

Conclusions: Clinical or subclinical DVT, an important cause of CVI, may not always be seen on ultrasound, especially after resolution. However, they may have the presence of blood parameters (Factor V and hyperhomocysteinemia) suggestive of DVT; these can be used as proxy markers for the current or previous DVT.
