Your vein health, fully checked
This package combines a venous Doppler scan, mapping your leg veins and any reflux, with blood tests to check for inflammation and, where swelling suggests it, a clot. It’s a thorough first step if you’re considering varicose vein treatment or living with uncomfortable legs.
What’s included
- Venous Doppler ultrasound (one or both legs)
- D-dimer (if swelling suggests a clot)
- Full blood count (FBC)
- ESR or CRP (inflammation)
Who it’s for
- Tired or heavy legs
- Swelling
- Visible veins
- Suspected venous reflux
How to prepare
- Wear loose clothing. You’ll be scanned standing.
Varicose Vein & Venous Health Package: your questions
Is this the same as the varicose vein scan?
It includes the same venous scan, plus blood tests for inflammation and clotting. Choose the scan alone if you only need vein mapping.
