History and Symptoms

• Inherited thrombophilias should be suspected in following clinical presentations, and, therefore, may benefit from thrombophilia screening:
  • Family history of thrombosis, especially at an early age (< 45 years)
  • 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, hepatic, portal, mesenteric, and renal veins.
  • Thrombosis in arteries with the abscence of arterial disease
  • History of fetal loss
  • History of warfarin skin necrosis
