Blood clots and UC?
Has anyone else here been diagnosed with DVT or PE because of their UC? I have had 2 DVTs and 1 PE and will now be on a blood thinner for life. 1st time they thought BCP were cause of it, but got off blood thinner and another happened a month later. I have now seen a rheumatologist and he mentioned the initial labs (to check for auto-immune causes) I had done with the first DVT may have come back positive because UC is autoimmune and I was in the middle of a flare. I googled if UC can cause blood clots and it says there is an increased risk. I was just curious if anyone else has ever been diagnosed with one and it be related to UC? I have now been on Entyvio for the past year (started it right after the 1st DVT diagnosis) and the rheumatologist ordered all labs again, and everything is normal. I have not heard from the rheumatologist yet regarding results but it seems the DVT was provoked by UC? Although I am 100% convinced that my previous short term use of Zepbound has caused all of this. All of this started immediately after I got off Zepbound.
