Venous function after thigh vein thrombosis diagnosed by the 125I-fibrinogen test. A study with occlusion plethysmorgraphy. 1979

D Bergqvist, and T Hallbröök

The long-term venous function after postoperative thigh vein thrombosis according to the 125I-fibrinogen test was analysed. 50 patients with a positive fibrinogen test postoperatively were investigated with strain gauge plethysmography 74 (27--103) weeks after operation. In five patients (10%), all female and all hip operated, pathological plethysmograms were seen.

D011183	Postoperative Complications	Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery.

D005260	Female		Females
D005340	Fibrinogen	Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
