Calcified thrombus

**Calcified thrombus** is a blood clot inside a vein that contains a large amount of calcium salts. It is formed as a result of blockage of a blood vessel or its damage, due to which fibrin accumulates, which leads to the development of thrombophlebitis. For the formation of calcified blood clots, additional factors are required, such as inflammation, increased blood clotting and other symptoms, such as varicose veins of the lower extremities. The patient feels pain in the inflamed vein while walking, the skin around the vein becomes swollen and cyanotic. Anticoagulants are used as treatment, and in case of complications, the patient may undergo surgery.

The formation of calcified thrombosis causes disruption of blood flow in the veins, which can lead to the formation of a blood clot. Blood clots form from fibrin, which forms in response to damage to the inner surface of the vein. The formation of calcified thrombosis occurs due to the fact that a lot of calcium is released in the blood, which interferes with bleeding and promotes platelet clumping. In addition, calcium also interferes with the formation of the fibrin circuit, which makes the formation process slower. With the development of such thrombosis, inflammation around the thrombosed vein and significant expansion of its walls may occur due to increased venous congestion. If new ulcers or damage to the vein wall occur under these conditions, thrombosis will be at a higher risk of developing. In such cases, especially dense and dangerous blood clots form, requiring special attention from doctors. Blood clots may
