Objective: Although improved diagnostic tools and treatment approach, deep venous thrombosis is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Deep venous thrombosis is a common condition that affects more than 250 000 patients each year in the United States. In spite of limitations of the available diagnostic tools for detecting deep venous thrombosis, laboratory tests such as plasma D-dimer has been gained much interest recently. So, we aimed to investigate the D-dimer and all hemostatic factors in patients with deep vein thrombosis. Material and Methods: We investigated the levels of the D-dimer and Von Willebrand factor by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 120 patients with deep venous thrombosis and in 115 patients without deep venous thrombosis. We used standard methods for detecting the levels of the cholesterol, creatinin, INR, factor VIII: C ratio, and aPTT. We used Clauss method for detecting the fibrinogen levels. Results: We obtained important results in patients with deep venous thrombosis compared to in patients without deep vein thrombosis. Age, BMI, aPTT, INR, and total cholesterol levels were not found statistically differences in patients with deep venous thrombosis (p>0,05). Plasma D-dimer, creatinin, factor VII:C, and Von Willebrand factor levels were found higher in patients with deep venous thrombosis than in patients without deep venous thrombosis (respectively, p<0,001, p<0,01). But, plasma fibrinogen levels were not found lower in patients with deep venous thrombosis (p<0,01). Conclusion: In conclusion, we suggested that the plasma D-dimer and hemostatic factor levels may play an important role in diagnosis and treatment of deep venous thrombosis.
