| ==Overview== | | == [[Thrombophilia overview|Overview]] == |
| '''Thrombophilia''' is defined as an increased risk of [[thrombosis]] in the body, due to an abnormality in the system of [[coagulation]]. Thrombophilia can be inherited or acquired. More than 50% of the cases of [[thrombosis]] are associated with an underlying thrombophilia. Thrombophilias are mostly associated with venous thromboembolism like [[deep vein thrombosis]] in lower extremities or [[pulmonary embolism]]. Relatively less is known about thrombophilias that predispose to arterial thromboembolism<ref name="pmid11309638">{{cite journal |author=Seligsohn U, Lubetsky A |title=Genetic susceptibility to venous thrombosis |journal=N. Engl. J. Med. |volume=344 |issue=16 |pages=1222–31 |year=2001 |month=April |pmid=11309638 |doi=10.1056/NEJM200104193441607 |url=}}</ref>.

| ==Classification== | | == [[Thrombophilia historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]== |
| Thrombophilia can be classified in various forms.
| |
| * The most common classification is by the nature of the thrombosis: [[artery|arterial]], [[vein|venous]] or combined.
| |
| * Crowther & Kelton (2003) propose to classify the abnormality by the molecular deficiency, type I being the (severe) deficiencies of inhibitors, and type II being the less severe elevation of coagulation factors.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Crowther MA, Kelton JG |title=Congenital thrombophilic states associated with venous thrombosis: a qualitative overview and proposed classification system |journal=Ann. Intern. Med. |volume=138 |issue=2 |pages=128-34|year=2003 |pmid=12529095 |doi= |url=http://www.annals.org/cgi/reprint/138/2/128}}</ref>

|
| ==Pathophysiology== | | == [[Thrombophilia classification|Classification]] == |
| The Virchow's triad has been described classically as the patho-physiologic mechanism responsible for any thrombosis, which includes 3 components:
| |
| * [[Endothelial dysfunction]]
| |
| * [[Venous stasis]]
| |
| * [[Hypercoaguability]]

| ==Laboratory testing== | | ==Case Studies== |
| ===Indications for screening===
| | :[[Thrombophilia case study one|Case #1]] |
| Routine screening is not indicated in those individuals with an obvious acquired cause. For example, if the thrombosis is due to immobilisation after recent [[orthopedic surgery]], it is unlikely that an underlying cause is found. Comprehensive testing in any patient should include complete assessment of risk factors and its effect on long-term therapy. Some of the indications of further testing may include<ref name="pmid19289024">{{cite journal |author=Foy P, Moll S |title=Thrombophilia: 2009 update |journal=Curr Treat Options Cardiovasc Med |volume=11 |issue=2 |pages=114–28 |year=2009 |month=April |pmid=19289024 |doi= |url=}}</ref><ref name="pmid11309638">{{cite journal |author=Seligsohn U, Lubetsky A |title=Genetic susceptibility to venous thrombosis |journal=N.

| |
| * Unexplained venous thromboembolism at an age of less than 50 years
| |
| * Recurrent spontaneous thrombosis
| |
| * Unusual sites like portal, splenic, mesenteric, hepatic or renal veins
| |
| * Family history in first-degree relatives
| |
| * Recurrent pregnancy losses<ref>Dawood, F., Farquharson, R., Quenby, S.''Recurrent miscarriage.'' Current Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2004; 14:247-253.</ref>
| |
| * Recurrence of venous thromboembolism while adequately anticoagulated
| |
| * Warfarin-induced skin necrosis
| |
| * Unexplained arterial thromboembolism in a younger patient without significant arteriosclerosis risk factors and no cardioembolic source
| |
| | |
| ===Timing===
| |
| The timing of tests is very important as it influences the levels of various thrombogenic factors in the body.
| |
| | |
| * Testing at the time of acute venous thrombosis is not indicated or during ongoing anti-coagulation.
| |
| * Best time to test is 4 weeks after completion of anticoagulation.
| |
| * Avoid intercurrent severe illness
| |
| * Pregnancy, oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy and cancer chemotherapy may also affect some tests.
| |
| | |
| * Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin mutation can be done in patients on anticoagulants and even in acute phase, as these are PCR tests. However, other tests can be done only at a later stage to rule out two disorders.
| |
| | |
| ===Type of tests===
| |
| Tests for thrombophilia include [[prothrombin time]] and INR, [[partial thromboplastin time]], [[thrombin time]], [[fibrinogen]] levels, [[antiphospholipid antibody]] levels (IgG- and IgM-anticardiolipin, dilute Russell viper venom time and lupus anticoagulant), [[protein C]], [[protein S]] and [[antithrombin]] (both levels and activity), activated protein C resistance (APC resistance), [[factor V Leiden]] and [[thrombin|prothrombin]] mutation. Many laboratories add on various other tests, depending on local policy and guidelines.
