AbstractObjective. Skin damage caused by chronic venous disease (CVD) is associated with severe microangiopathic changes in the skin. The aim was to determine whether patients in various CEAP clinical stages of CVD have elevated plasma levels of VEGF compared to controls and whether this correlates with the symptoms.Methods. One hundred and eight patients with CVD attending the vascular clinic were included and assigned to the appropriate CEAP clinical stage. Thirty healthy control subjects were also included. Patients and controls were studied after resting supine for 10 min. Blood samples were taken from a dorsal foot vein. Assay of VEGF was performed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Volunteers' symptoms were recorded using a vi...
