Abstract

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the conditions that are for long been under-diagnosed and ignored as one of the utmost cause of morbidity worldwide. Understanding of the pathology and treatment of DVT shows advancement over the years among hospitalized patients. Deep vein thrombosis is a frequent and potentially alarming condition. It is extremely common medical problems that occur isolated or associated with other disease or procedures. Around 10 million cases of venous thromboembolism take place yearly- low, middle and high income countries. The hospitalized associated deep vein thrombosis is the major cause of disability. Major risk factors for thrombosis, other than age, include exogenous factors such as surgery, hospitalization, immobility, trauma, pregnancy and the puerperium and hormone use, and endogenous factors such as cancer, obesity, and inherited and acquired disorders of hypercoagulation. Prophylaxis of Deep vein thrombosis has been identified as the best measures to improve the safety of patients who were hospitalized for longer duration. Most of the problem could be avoided by simple, cost-effective measures. The healthcare professionals should be vigilant about DVT and its management to decline the morbidity and mortality because of DVT.
