dc.description.abstractBackground : Common condition encountered by surgeons are Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT). About one-third of individuals with symptomatic Venous thromboembolism have PE, whereas the remaining two-thirds exhibit DVT alone. Aims and Objective : To assess the Serum homocysteine & serum Vitamin B12 levels in patients with DVT and to examine the influence of various risk factors on serum homocysteine levels and serum Vitamin B12 levels. Material and Methods : It is a retrospective study conducted in Department of General Surgery, BJ Medical College and Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad from May, 2017 to September, 2018 including 20 Patients. Patients having a DVT diagnosis older than five years were included. Results : Out of 20 patients, Hyperhomocysteinemia was present in 8(40%) and Vitamin B12 Deficiency in 9 (45%) patients. The mean age was 34.6 years & only one female patient (5%). Immobility was present in 6(30%), Smoking history in 8(40%), Cardiac Co-morbidity in 4(20%) Patients. Conclusion : Hyperhomocysteinemia & Vitamin B12 Deficiency are potentially modifiable risk factors that must be considered when evaluating patients for DVT.en_US
