Some biochemical risk factors of deep vein thrombosis in type - 2 diabetes mellitus

ABSTRACT

Introduction: hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with premature peripheral vascular, cerebrovascular and coronary artery disease. The relation between B-vitamins and vascular disease re- mains poorly defined. Patients with mild hyperhomocyteinemia are asymptomatic until the third or fourth decade when premature coronary artery disease may develop, as well as recurrent arterial and venous thrombosis. Increased plasma total homocysteine [tHcy] level is the most common cause of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes
