Prime Medic is dedicated to providing access to comprehensive healthcare services, including specialized diagnostic tests like the Thrombophilia Screen. This test is essential for detecting the most frequent and well-defined causes of venous thrombosis. This guide will explain what the Thrombophilia Screen entails, its significance, and how you can obtain a referral through Prime Medic.
Thrombophilia is a condition characterized by an increased tendency to form abnormal blood clots in blood vessels, which can lead to venous thrombosis (blood clots in veins). This condition can be inherited or acquired and can increase the risk of complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The Thrombophilia Screen is a series of blood tests designed to identify specific genetic mutations and other factors associated with an increased risk of clotting.
This genetic mutation is one of the most common inherited causes of thrombophilia. It increases the risk of developing abnormal blood clots, particularly in veins.
This genetic variant is associated with elevated levels of prothrombin, a protein involved in blood clotting. People with this mutation have an increased risk of venous thrombosis.
Antithrombin III is a protein that helps regulate blood clotting. A deficiency can lead to an increased risk of clot formation.
These proteins are natural anticoagulants that help prevent excessive clotting. Deficiencies in either protein can increase the risk of developing venous thrombosis.
This antibody can interfere with the body's natural anticoagulant processes, increasing the risk of blood clots. It is commonly associated with autoimmune conditions like lupus.
Elevated levels of homocysteine, an amino acid, can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of clot formation.
The Thrombophilia Screen is crucial for identifying inherited and acquired risk factors for thrombophilia. Early detection allows for targeted interventions to reduce the risk of venous thrombosis and related complications.
For individuals with a history of venous thrombosis or those at high risk, the results of the Thrombophilia Screen can guide treatment decisions, such as the use of anticoagulant medications or lifestyle modifications to reduce risk.
If an inherited form of thrombophilia is detected, family members may also be at risk. Genetic counseling and testing can help identify other family members who may benefit from preventive measures.
