A member asked:
Can a blood test detect blood clots in legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More useful to : Exclude clots. A blood test may be done as a screening test to check for clots, not specifically in the legs. These tests, if negative are useful in excluding blood clots, but positive results have many false positives.
