Differentiating [disease name] from other diseases on the basis of [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]

On the basis [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3], [disease name] must be differentiated from [disease 1], [disease 2], [disease 3], [disease 4], [disease 5], and [disease 6].

Diseases Clinical manifestations Para-clinical findings Gold standard Additional findings
Symptoms Physical examination
Lab Findings Imaging
Symptoms of DVT Symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism Symptoms of Myocardial Infarction Tenderness in extremities Edema in extremities Warmth in extremities Platelet count PT aPTT Bleeding time Doppler ultrasound Chest CT scan Head CT with contrast
Antithrombin deficiency[1][2] + + - + + + - - -

Increase in PTT after administration of heparin

-
  • Should be used for diagnosis and fallow up
  • Occlusion brachiocephalic vein
  • large thrombus in superior vena cava
  • Decreased plasma antithrombin (AT III) activity
  • Nephrotic syndrome
  • Decreased inhibition of factor II and Xa
  • Antithrombin is a natural anticoagulant that is lost in the urine
Factor V Leiden mutation[3][4][5] + + + + + +
  • Recommend to do weekly
  • Inactivates factor Va and factor VIIIa
Protein C deficiency[6][7][8] + + - + + + - - Normal / ↑ -
  • Hypercoagulation
  • Recurrent venous thromboembolism
  • Protein C functional assay
  • ELISA assay: may produce false positive result in cross reaction with rheumatoid factor
  • Factor VIII elevation in acute phase
  • Functional assay should not be performed if patient is on warfarin
  • Purpura fulminans (skin necrosis) could be a form of presentation
  • Risk of thrombotic skin necrosis following warfarin administration
Protein S deficiency[8][9] + + - + + +
  • Hypercoagulation
  • Recurrent venous thromboembolism
  • Protein S free antigen assay
  • Post phlebtic syndrome
  • Fetal loss
  • When performing the gold standard test, beware of interference from samples positive for Factor V mutation, protein C deficiency and oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban)
  • Risk of thrombotic skin necrosis following warfarin administration
Prothrombin gene mutation + + - + + +
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)[10][11] + + +/- + + + N/A
  • Elevated fibrin degradation products (D-dimers)
  • Decreased fibrinogen
  • Decreased factor V and VIII
  • Shistocytes (helmet cells) on peripheral blood smear
Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome + +
