Overview
- Inherited thrombophilia must be differentiated from acquired thrombophilia, as it may influence the selection and duration of anticoagulation.
- Inherited thrombophilias should be suspected in patients with the certain clinical presentations[1].
- Screening for inherited thrombophilias is controversial and should be performed in the appropriate clinical context.
Differential Diagnosis
- Inherited thrombophilias should be suspected in following clinical presentations:
- Family history of thrombosis, especially at an early age
- Unprovoked thrombosis at an early age (<40-55 for venous thrombosis and <50-55 for arterial thrombosis)
- Recurrent thrombosis
- Thrombosis at multiple sites, or unusual locations including in cerebral, splanchnic, and renal veins.
- Thrombosis in arteries with the abscence of arterial disease
- History of fetal loss
