Doppler and Legs: Very accurate. There are a million other reasons for pain. Why do you think you have a dvt?

Venous Doppler: A venous duplex ultrasound is the gold standard to diagnose DVT from the groin to the lower calf. Between the mid abdomen and groin a cat scan, cat scan angiogram with the venous phase or an MRV would be the methods of choice to find a clot. There are many causes of leg pain and a clot is only one of them.

I had an ultrasound for blood clots on Friday. test came back negative. Last night while sleeping I got a sharp pain in my leg like a cramp. Is it possible that I got a blood clot over the last 6 days if I've been smoking? I'm not a regular smoker

Elevated d-dimer now on two lab tests. VQ scan showed no clots, calf exam showed good blood flow no swelling. Still short of breath. Vascular Ultrasound in a week. Should I still be concerned about Blood clots? Why is D-Dimer high? So scared?
