Although not dangerous in itself, part of the clot may break off and lodge in a blood vessel supplying the lungs, causing a potentially life-threatening blockage called a pulmonary embolism.  <br \/> DVT is caused by a combination of slow blood flow, blood vessel damage, and an increased tendency of the blood to clot.  <br \/> Risk factors include prolonged immobility, injuries such as bone fractures, surgery, dehydration, pregnancy, certain blood disorders, hormone replacement therapy or taking the combined contraceptive pill, smoking, and being overweight.  <br \/> Treatment includes medication to prevent further clotting and to stop an embolism , and sometimes surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot (thrombus) forms<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[16],"class_list":["post-3217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-med-signs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3217\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
