What are the early symptoms of blood clots?


Author: Succeeder    

Thrombosis can occur in arteries or veins. Early symptoms vary depending on the location of thrombosis. The following are the early symptoms of thrombosis in different locations:

1-Venous thrombosis
(1) Limb swelling:
It is the most common symptom of deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities. The affected limb will swell evenly, the skin will be tense and shiny, and in severe cases, blisters may appear on the skin. Swelling generally worsens after standing or moving, and can be relieved by resting or raising the affected limb.
(2) Pain:
There is often tenderness at the site of thrombosis, which may be accompanied by soreness, swelling, and heaviness. The pain will worsen when walking or moving. Some patients may also experience muscle pain in the back of the calf, that is, positive Homans sign (when the foot is bent sharply to the back, it can cause deep pain in the calf muscle).
(3) Skin changes:
The skin temperature of the affected limb may rise, and the color may be red or cyanotic. If it is superficial vein thrombosis, the superficial veins may be dilated and tortuous, and the local skin may show inflammation such as redness, swelling, and fever.

2- Arterial thrombosis
(1) Cold limbs:
Due to the obstruction of arterial blood supply, the blood supply to the distal limbs is reduced, and the patient will feel cold and afraid of cold. The skin temperature will drop significantly, which is in sharp contrast with the normal limbs.

(2) Pain: It is often the first symptom to appear. The pain is more severe and progressively worsens. It may start with intermittent claudication, that is, after walking a certain distance, the patient is forced to stop walking due to pain in the lower limbs. After a short rest, the pain is relieved and the patient can continue walking, but the pain will reappear after a period of time. As the disease progresses, rest pain may occur, that is, the patient will feel pain even when resting, especially at night, which seriously affects the patient's sleep.

(3) Paresthesia: The affected limb may experience numbness, tingling, burning sensation and other paresthesias, which are caused by nerve ischemia and hypoxia. Some patients may also experience decreased or absent tactile sensation and become sluggish in their response to stimuli such as pain and temperature.

(4) Movement disorders: Due to insufficient blood supply to the muscles, patients may experience limb weakness and limited movement. In severe cases, this may lead to muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and even inability to walk normally or perform limb movements.

It should be noted that these symptoms are not specific, and some other diseases may also cause similar manifestations. Therefore, if the above symptoms occur, you should seek medical attention in time and undergo relevant examinations, such as vascular ultrasound, CT angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), etc., to clarify the diagnosis and take appropriate treatment measures.

We specialize in automated coagulation analyzers and reagents, ESR/HCT analyzers, and hemorheology analyzers. Our products are certified under ISO 13485 and CE, and we serve over 10,000 users worldwide.

Analyzer Introduction
Fully Automated Coagulation analyzer SF-9200 (https://www.succeeder.com/fully-automated-coagulation-analyzer-sf-9200-product) can be used for clinical test and pre-operative screening. Hospitals and medical scientific researchers also can use SF-9200. Which adopts coagulation and immunoturbidimetry, chromogenic method to test the clotting of plasma. The instrument shows that clotting measurement value is the clotting time (in seconds). If the test item is calibrated by calibration plasma, it can also display other related results.
The product is made of sampling probe movable unit, cleaning unit, cuvettes movable unit, heating and cooling unit, test unit, operation-displayed unit, LIS interface (used for printer and transfer date to Computer).
Technical and experienced staffs and analyzers of high quality and strict quality management are the guarantee of manufacture of SF-9200 and good quality. We guarantee each instrument inspected and tested strictly. SF-9200 meets China national standard, industry standard, enterprise standard and IEC standard.
