What does the venous reflux test check for? Reflux means abnormal backward flow. In the veins, this means blood flows back down the leg and toward the surface instead of (inward and upward), causing spider and varicose veins to appear. All patients with leg veins should have a quick, painless CW-Doppler test for reflux to determine if there are deeper veins feeding the surface veins. When found, these saphenous veins are treated first after ultrasound mapping.
