The phenotype of monocyte subtypes and expression of chemokine receptors in the Chronic Venous Insufficiency.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate monocyte subtypes and the chemokine receptors, comparing individuals with and without Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI).

Method: The authors included patients undergoing surgery for varicose veins of the lower limbs (Classification of Venous Disorders - CEAP: C1‒C3).

Results: There were increased levels of classical and non-classical monocytes in the case group and a reduction in intermediate monocytes.
