title: [Disabling pathogenetic causes in postthrombotic disease of the lower extremities].
abstract: Prospective investigation of etiological and pathogenetic causes of the disabling complications incidence in the lower extremities postthrombotic disease (LEPTHD), influencing activity of these patients, was conducted. The examined patients were divided into two groups, in 62 (58.5%) patients a disability was absent, and in 44 (41.5%) disability was established. Profound clinical examination was conducted, including determination of subfascial pressure on the shin, ultrasound duplex scanning of venous system, electroneuromyography of the lower extremities, estimation of the D-dimer, levels antithrombine-III activity in general and regional blood flow. The leading factors, which causes the LEPTHD patients activity restriction, were determined, basing on the results analysis.
