Thrombotest Kotovshchikova

Kotovshchikov's thrombotests are a new method for diagnosing deep vein thrombosis, which was developed by Russian phlebologist Tatyana Kotovshchikova in 2015. This method is based on the use of a special device that allows you to quickly and accurately determine the presence of blood clots in the deep veins of the lower extremities.

Kotovshchikova's thrombotesting is an alternative to the classical method, which includes vein puncture and a blood test for the presence of platelets. This method has several advantages, such as speed, accuracy and safety for the patient.

The operating principle of Kotovshchikova’s thrombotests is that a special gel containing fluorescent dyes is applied to the skin of the leg. A small incision is then made on the skin through which a special probe with a camera is inserted. The camera records the change in color of the gel in the presence of a blood clot. If a blood clot is detected, the doctor can decide on further treatment for the patient.

The advantages of Kotovshchikov's thrombotests include speed and accuracy of diagnosis, safety for the patient, no need for vein puncture, and the ability to conduct the study on an outpatient basis. In addition, this method can be used to screen the population for the presence of deep vein thrombus.

In conclusion, Kotovshchikov thrombotests are a new method for diagnosing deep vein thrombosis. This method has a number of advantages over the classical method, such as speed and accuracy, safety for the patient and the ability to conduct the study on an outpatient basis. Thrombotests can be used to screen the population and determine the need for further treatment.

Introduction

Thrombosis is a serious disease of blood vessels, accompanied by blockage of their lumen with blood clots that form due to improper blood clotting or the entry of any foreign elements into it. When the lumen is not blocked, the affected vessels do not provide the body with the necessary substances well, so the blood clot must be detected and removed in a timely manner
