Deep Vein Thrombosis, or, deep venous thrombosis (dvt), is essentially a condition involving one or more blood clots that have formed in a deep vein. Typically, a dvt blood clot will form in a leg or calf and may involve some degree of pain and/or swelling in the affected area. What causes blood clots to form in the veins? Certain factors affect the formation of blood clots including the condition of the blood vessel walls, the thickness of an individual’s blood, and the rate of blood flow through the veins. Additionally, there are risk factors that contribute to deep venous thrombosis such as being a woman, contraceptives, obesity, age (older individuals), tobacco usage, air travel, and immobility. Thrombi form in the direction that the blood flows through a vein. Severe cases of deep venous thrombosis can spread to the inferior vena cava and other veins, and the more extensive the clots are the more the likelihood of a pulmonary embolism. Studies have indicated that one individual out of one thousand will be affected by a deep venous thrombosis, and that one to five percent of these cases will be fatal due to pulmonary embolisms. Deep vein thrombosis can be somewhat painful and may necessitate that an individual with DVT periodically elevate the legs to find relief. Of course, DVT can pose problems for an individual attempting to engage in normal daily activities and, in combination with other medical impairments, can make the prospect of working difficult. Not surprisingly, deep vein thrombosis is occasionally listed on a claimant's application for social security disability or ssi disability benefits. Of course, a claimant who files for such benefits should try to learn as much about the ssd and ssi disability application process as possible to avoid simple but potentially costly mistakes.
