Overview
In general, screening for inherited thrombophilias is controversial and should be performed in the appropriate clinical context.[1]According to the American Society of Hematology, screening for inherited thrombophilias is not recommended in adult patients with venous thrombosis in the setting of major transient risk factors which include surgery, trauma, or prolonged immobility.[2] However, patients who have significant risk factors, including a positive family history or concurrent treatment with hormonal therapies, should seek expert consultation.
Screening
- According to the American Society of Hematology, screening for inherited thrombophilias is not recommended in adult patients with venous thrombosis in the setting of major transient risk factors which include surgery, trauma, or prolonged immobility.[2]
- According to the American Society of Hematology, British Committee for Standards in Hematology, and the British Society for Hematology, screening for inherited thrombophilias may be useful in the following situations:[1] [3]
- Asymptomatic screening: First degree relatives of patients with homozygosity for Factor V Leiden, antithrombin deficiency, Protein C or Protein S deficiency and anticipated hormone therapy or pregnancy
- Symptomatic screening- patients with acute thrombus
- Refer to thrombophilia laboratory findings for more information on specific screening tests
