PAD is a circulatory problem that causes a narrowing in your leg arteries (and sometimes in your arms). Over time, this prevents blood flow to your extremities, increasing your risk of more serious health problems, including amputation or stroke. More: https://t.co/T92XiSnfwu

CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY is when leg veins fail to pump blood back to the heart, causing blood to pool. Symptoms include leg pain or heaviness, fatigue,
cramps, non-healing sores, swelling, burning, itching, or restless legs syndrome. Learn more: https://t.co/W80MZ0U1Lv

Poor circulation can have BIG impacts on your health. Narrow passageways, blocked arteries & blood clots can leave your limbs weak, cause pain, and could potentially result in a stroke. Contact IVC if you experience irregular leg or feet sensations. https://t.co/4pA2YYlwGw

Deep Vein Thrombosis occurs when blood clots form in the deep veins of your body resulting in pulmonary embolism and possibly death. If a blood clot loosens and travels through your bloodstream, it can lodge in your lungs cutting off blood flow completely. https://t.co/4pA2YYlwGw

Treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease focuses on easing uncomfortable symptoms and preventing the progression of fat buildup. One method of surgical intervention is ANGIOPLASTY where a balloon is inflated inside a blocked artery to restore blood flow. https://t.co/8kBqQhGh58

Drinking enough fluids helps the kidneys remove waste from the body and may help lower the risk of chronic kidney disease.
However, everyone’s hydration needs are different and depend on different factors.
If you have kidney disease or are on dialysis, speak with your healthcare team before making changes to your fluid intake.

One way to establish a dialysis access is by taking a piece of vein from your arm or leg and sewing it into a nearby artery, allowing the sewn-in vein to enlarge and become thicker (known as AV fistula). Learn more: https://t.co/D3hGcejsfU or 915-855-6508

If you need dialysis or are receiving cancer treatment, frequent blood transfusions and intravenous medications are necessary. A CHEMO PORT (aka port-a-cath) prevents the need for dozens of needle pricks, ensuring a more comfortable care experience.
