Results: Mean serum homocysteine levels among DVT patients was 15.12±5.47 μmol/L. Most of the patients of DVT were from 41-60 years of age group with mean age being 50.11±13.66 years. Of all the patients, 15 patients had homocysteine level above the 15 µmol/L, 22 had folic acid level below 3 ng/ml, 14 had vitamin B12 level below 150 pmol/L, and 3 had vitamin B6 level below 30 nmol/L. In the hyper homocysteinemic group, eleven patients had low folic acid level, ten had low vitamin B12 level and two had low vitamin B6 level.

Conclusions: Hyper homocysteinemia and related Vitamin B group deficiency are risk factors for Deep vein thrombosis. Hyper homocysteinemia and risk of DVT, this correlation is high among older age group and female patients.
