A new study published in Scientific Reports explored the causal role of immune cells in varicose veins using advanced genetic analysis.
Researchers examined genetic data from over 389,000 participants to see how immune cell activity impacts vein disease.
Here are some key findings from their research:
✓ Certain immune cells, like dendritic cells and monocytes, were linked to a higher risk of varicose veins.
✓ Other immune cells, including specific B cell subtypes, appeared to have a protective effect.
✓ Results suggest that inflammation and immune system activity may play a bigger role in varicose vein development than previously understood.
At USA Vein Clinics, our specialists focus on both the visible symptoms and the underlying causes of vein disease. We provide advanced, minimally invasive treatments such as EVLT, RFA, VenaSeal™, ClariVein®, Varithena®, and sclerotherapy, designed to deliver lasting relief.
