Doppler Venous Both Lower Limb
An imaging technique called Doppler Venous Both Lower Limb uses sound waves to look for blood clots in the arteries and veins of said legs. This method aids in keeping track of blood circulation inside the leg’s blood arteries. Arteriosclerosis, superficial thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, and vascular malignancies in the legs are just a few of the serious medical disorders used to diagnose. A Doppler venous ultrasound test aids in figuring out the problem.
Patients experiencing extreme leg pain and swelling, pigmentation of the legs and feet, and rigidity or discolouration of the veins are advised to get this test. Such symptoms are more common among diabetics, cardiac patients, and those who lead sedentary, unhealthy lives.

What do Abnormal Results Mean?
Unusual outcomes could be caused by:
- blood clot-induced arterial blockage
- a vein-related blood clot (DVT)
- artery narrowing or widening
- Spasticity of the arteries (arterial contractions brought on by cold or emotion)
