Overview
Screening
- The American Society of Hematology recommends against thrombophilia screening in adult patients with venous thrombosis in the setting of major transient risk factors[1].
- Major transient risk factors including: surgery, trauma, or prolonged immobility.
- However, patients who have significant risk factors including a positive family history or concurrent treatment with hormonal therapies should seek expert consultation.
- Thrombophilia screening can be expensive, and are often performed at inappropriate times.
- Refer to thrombophilia laboratory findings for more information on specific screening tests.
