Pathology: Blood or qi deficiency. This is seen in cases of deficiencies and failure of Qi and blood. It can also be seen in disharmonies of the even emotions, weakness in Yang Qi, internal damage to jing, and penetration of dampness.
Testing for venous blood clots. Venous blood clots may be detected in a variety of ways, though ultrasound is most commonly used. Occasionally, the patient's size and shape limit the ability for ultrasound to provide a definitive answer. Venography is an alternative test to look for a clot.
Follow up with any tests your doctor has ordered. If you have been instructed to seek further testing at a walk-in lab or hospital testing facility, call right away to get the hours of operation and do not delay further testing. Follow up with your doctor regarding treatment if a blood clot is discovered.
