Overview
The annual thrombotic risks are variable and depend on the underlying thrombophilia.[1]
Natural History
- Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin G20210A: If left untreated, the annual incidence of incident thrombosis in asymptomatic patients is low (<0.06%). However, the occurrence of recurrent thrombosis can not be predicted in such inherited thrombophilias. [2][3][4]
- Protein C, Protein S, and Antithrombin deficiencies: These conditions carries an increased risk for recurrent thrombosis in untreated patients. [3][5]
- Oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, and pregnancy can significantly increase thrombotic risk in patients with underlying thrombophilia.[6]
- Certain high risk thrombophilias require indefinite anticoagulation. However, such patients on preventive oral anticoagulant therapy for venous thromboembolism still carries the annual incidence of significant bleeds of ~2-3%.[7]
Complications
- The primary complication of thrombophilia is the development of blood clots, also known as thrombus formation.
- The most common complications of thrombophilia are as follows: [1][2][6]
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Pulmonary embolism
- Postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) with chronic venous ulceration (CVU) [8]
Table 1: The risk of future thrombosis in patients with thrombophilia:
| Thrombotic risk[2] | Thrombophilic state |
|---|---|
| Modest | Trauma/General surgery, Age > 60, Immobilization, Pregnancy, Hormone therapies, Factor V Leiden heterozygosity, Prothrombin mutation, Homocysteinemia, Increased factor VIII levels, Increased factor IX levels, Increased factor XI levels |
| Intermediate | Protein C and S deficiency, Dysfibrogenemia |
| High | Malignancy, APLS/Lupus anticoagulant, Myeloproliferative disorders/hyperviscosity, PNH, Orthopedic surgery, Antithrombin deficiency, Factor V Leiden homozygosity |
Table 2: The effect of concurrent hormone exposure on incident thrombosis and thrombotic risk in patients with underlying thrombophilia:
| Thrombophilic state | Annual Incidence (%) | Relative Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | 0.008 | 1 |
| Factor V Leiden heterozygous | 0.06 | 3-10 |
| Factor V Leiden homozygous | 0.5-1 | 80 |
| Prothrombin G20210A | 0.02 | 1-5 |
| Oral contraceptive (OCP) | 0.03 | 4 |
| OCP and factor V leiden heterozygous | 0.3 | 35 |
| OCP and factor V leiden homozygous | 100 | |
| OCP and prothrombin G20210A | 16 | |
| OCP and protein C/S, or antithrombin III deficiency | 9.7 | |
| Pregnancy | 7 | |
| Pregnancy and factor V leiden heterozygous | 35 | |
| Cancer | 5 | |
| History of venous thrombosis | 50 |
Prognosis
- The prognosis depends on the underlying thrombophilia as each disorder has a different associated thrombotic risk (Table 1 and 2).
- Thrombophilias associated with the development of multiple or atypical clots, arterial thrombosis, or life-threatening thrombosis carries worse prognosis which are as follows:
- High risk thrombophilic conditions require consideration for lifelong anticoagulation under the supervision of an expert consultant.
- Antiphospholipid Syndrome
- Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
- Recurrent thrombosis regardless of underlying thrombophilia
- History of life-threatening thrombosis or atypical locations
- Malignancy with history of thrombosis
