==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 congenital 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>
* Acquired vs. congenital


==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


The mechanism of thrombophilia involves affecting the pathway of thrombosis<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>:

==Indications for testing==
== Treatment ==
Searching for a coagulation abnormality is not normally undertaken in patients in whom thrombosis has an obvious other 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 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. Engl. J. Med. |volume=344 |issue=16 |pages=1222–31 |year=2001 |month=April |pmid=11309638 |doi=10.1056/NEJM200104193441607 |url=}}</ref>:
* 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
* 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


Conversely, although thrombosis itself may occur in any person, repeated (two or more) unprovoked episodes of thrombosis and unusual sites and types of thrombosis (e.g. [[Budd-Chiari syndrome]]) may point towards a coagulation disorder.

Increasingly, [[habitual abortion|recurrent miscarriage]] is seen as an indication for thrombophilia screening. <ref>Dawood, F., Farquharson, R., Quenby, S.''Recurrent miscarriage.'' Current Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2004; 14:247-253.</ref>
==Case Studies==
 
:[[Thrombophilia case study one|Case #1]]
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.
