Research Article: Clinical Investigation of Hereditary and Acquired Thrombophilic Factors in Patients with Venous and Arterial Thromboembolism
Abstract:
Thrombosis is a multi-etiological disease with several inherited and acquired risk factors both in the venous (VTE) and arterial (ATE) form., Though numerous thrombophilic factors detected by laboratory methods are known, the extent of screening is not unequivocal in various clinical situations, especially in ATE. There is widespread consensus that untargeted thrombophilia screening has little relevance in an unselected population., On the other hand, younger patients or cases with unprovoked/unusual site/recurrent thrombosis might be candidates for laboratory thrombophilia screening in VTE., Several congenital and acquired factors and scoring systems have been suggested in arterial or venous risk assessment tools, although essential risk factors are sometimes lacking from the list and there are differences also in the nomenclature.,,,
