Blood marker may predict DVT complications
NCT ID NCT05789108
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 178 patients hospitalized with a first-time deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the leg. Researchers will take blood samples and perform ultrasounds to see if certain markers, like suPAR, can predict long-term complications such as post-thrombotic syndrome. The goal is to better understand who is at risk and improve follow-up care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify DVT patients at higher risk for long-term complications, leading to better follow-up care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find a clear link between the blood markers and complications, and results may not apply to all DVT patients.
