Differential Diagnosis

• 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.
• Screening for inherited thrombophilias is controversial and should be performed in the appropriate clinical context.
