Overview
The most common risk factors in the development of acquired thrombophlias are trauma, surgery, immobility, pregnancy, estrogen therapy, and age. The most common risk factors in the development of inherited thrombophilias are genetic mutations in factor V leiden and prothrombon G20210A. Inherited thrombophilias should be suspected in certain clinical presentations. Refer to the thrombophilia classification page for a list conditions associated with acquired thrombophilias, and to the page on causes of thrombophilia by organ system.
