Introduction: Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) has been identified as a predictor in cardiovascular diseases and acute pulmonary embolism. However, the association of GDF-15 and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate levels of GDF-15 in patients with DVT, and determine its association with the thrombus burden.Materials and methods: 72 newly diagnosed DVT patients and 30 healthy volunteers were enrolled, and the levels of plasma GDF-15 were detected. To explore the relationship between GDF-15 and thrombus severity, we analyzed the thrombus burden and the association with pulmonary embolism of DVT patients. In vitro, the effect of GDF-15 on platelet aggregation and thrombin/antithrombin activity were investigated.Results: We found that the mean levels of plasma GDF-15 in DVT patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls (1448.78 +/- 61.98 pg/ml VS 805.70 +/- 112.95 pg/ml, P
