Doppler Limbs Double Arterial And Venous

Description

Doppler Limbs Double Arterial and Venous – Precision Vascular Assessment for Enhanced Patient Care

The Doppler Limbs Double Arterial and Venous Ultrasound is a non-invasive, highly accurate diagnostic imaging test that evaluates blood flow in both the arteries and veins of the arms or legs. Using advanced Doppler ultrasound technology, this comprehensive vascular study helps detect blockages, clots, poor circulation, and venous insufficiency — enabling early diagnosis and effective management of critical circulatory conditions.

Whether you’re experiencing leg pain, swelling, or have risk factors like diabetes or hypertension, this test delivers real-time insights into your vascular health, helping doctors prevent complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), peripheral artery disease (PAD), or even stroke and amputation.

Performed by expert sonographers at Lab Tests Dubai, this painless scan is a cornerstone of modern cardiovascular diagnostics.

Why You Need This Test

You need the Doppler Limbs (Arterial & Venous) Test if:

• You suffer from leg pain, cramping, or fatigue while walking (claudication)
• You have swollen, heavy, or varicose veins
• You’re at risk for DVT or blood clots (e.g., after surgery, long flights, or immobility)
• You have diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol
• You’re being evaluated for poor wound healing or ulcers
• You want to rule out PAD or chronic venous insufficiency

Early vascular screening can prevent life-threatening events like pulmonary embolism or limb ischemia — this test gives you the clarity to act before it’s too late.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

Consider booking this Doppler scan if you experience:

• Pain or cramping in legs during walking (relieved by rest)
• Swelling in one or both legs
• Visible varicose veins or skin discoloration (darkening, ulcers)
• Numbness, coldness, or weak pulse in limbs
• Leg fatigue or heaviness, especially after standing
• History of blood clots or family history of vascular disease
• Slow-healing sores or non-healing foot wounds (common in diabetics)

These signs may indicate restricted blood flow — and this test can confirm it quickly and safely.

How to Prepare for the Test

Preparation is simple and stress-free:

• No fasting required
• No injections or contrast – completely non-invasive
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing (easy access to limbs)
• Avoid applying lotions or oils to legs before the test
• Continue taking your regular medications unless advised otherwise
• Inform your doctor if you’ve had recent surgery or known clotting disorders

The test takes 30–45 minutes and is completely painless.

Test Overview

FAQs

Q: Is this test painful?
A: No. It’s completely non-invasive — just a probe with gel moved over the skin.

Q: Can it detect blood clots?
A: Yes. It’s highly accurate in diagnosing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and venous blockages.

Q: What’s the difference between arterial and venous Doppler?
A:

• Arterial Doppler checks for blockages or narrowing in arteries (e.g., PAD)
• Venous Doppler looks for blood clots or valve failure in veins (e.g., DVT, varicose veins)
  This test includes both — a comprehensive vascular assessment.

Q: Do I need a referral?
A: Not always. We accept self-referrals, but a doctor’s note helps with interpretation.

Q: How soon will I get my results?
A: A detailed, radiologist-interpreted report is delivered securely within 10 days.

Q: Is it safe during pregnancy?
A: Yes. Ultrasound is safe for all ages and conditions, including pregnancy.

Q: Can I walk in for the test?
A: Yes! We offer scheduled and walk-in appointments — plus home sample collection upon request.
