Overview
Classification
Thrombophilia can be classified in various forms.
- The most common classification is by the nature of the thrombosis: arterial, venous or combined.
- Crowther & Kelton (2003) propose to classify the abnormality by the molecular deficiency, type I being the (severe) deficiencies of inhibitors, and type II being the less severe elevation of coagulation factors.[1]
- Inherited vs. acquired
