Thrombosis usually occurs after the age of 40 and after exposure to various risk factors, but there is the possibility that it is also inherited.
It is due to the incorrect action of the factors of the hemostasis regulation mechanism.
In case there is a genetic predisposition, we have a correspondingly higher chance of clot formation after exposure to specific risk factors.
The test is performed on 1 vial of EDTA blood or a saliva sample.
Risk Factors for Thrombosis Incidence
Pregnancy is a naturally thrombogenic state of the body.
Some pregnancy complications have been associated with the occurrence of blood clots in people with a genetic predisposition to thrombophilia. These complications are most often the result of the genetic factors that the person carries in combination with the risk factor to which they are exposed, which in this case is pregnancy.
Women who carry one or more genetic predisposition factors for thrombophilia do not necessarily develop a complication during their pregnancy, they just run a higher degree of risk.
Many gynecologists and obstetricians urge expectant mothers to undergo molecular thrombophilia screening, as knowledge can prevent a possible pregnancy complication with proper surveillance.
