What is thrombophilia?
Thrombophilia is a condition in which there is an imbalance of natural proteins or blood clotting factors that can put a patient at risk of blood clotting. Blood clotting or coagulation is usually normal. This is the process that stops bleeding during various types of damage to blood vessels.
But if the clots don't dissolve, or if there is a tendency to form frequent clots, it can be a serious, life-threatening condition.
Blood clots can break off and travel through the bloodstream, putting people with thrombophilia at risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism. Blood clots can also cause heart attacks and strokes. Thrombophilia can be genetic or acquired.
What are the causes of thrombophilia?
genetic types
Some diseases that cause thrombophilia are hereditary. Many of them are caused by changes in the number or function of proteins involved in clotting. For example, resistance to activated protein C (Factor V Leiden mutation), specific mutation of the prothrombin gene (prothrombin 20210 mutation), lack of protein C, protein S, or antithrombin – all of these proteins, important for blood clotting, stimulate the formation of fibrin. Hyperhomocysteinemia causes an increase in the amount of homocysteine, one of the amino acids, in the blood, which is why there is a high probability of blood clots in the veins and arteries.
purchased types
Other diseases that cause thrombophilia are acquired after birth. These include: disseminated intravascular coagulation (often associated with malignancy) and antiphospholipid antibody (anticardiolipin) syndrome (including the presence of lupus "anticoagulant"). These diseases increase the likelihood of clot formation due to abnormal activation of clotting factors.
An increase in the risk of clotting can be caused by other factors besides thrombophilia. Among them are such conditions, due to which a person cannot be physically active, which causes accumulation of blood in the veins. Examples include: paralysis, prolonged sitting (especially in one place, such as in a car or airplane), prolonged bed rest, recent surgery, and heart attack. Heart failure is also a risk factor, during which the speed of blood flow in blood vessels is reduced, as well as increased pressure on veins during obesity and pregnancy.
How is thrombophilia diagnosed?
Thrombophilia is diagnosed with a blood test. These tests can identify the condition, but may not always determine the cause
Genetic testing for thrombophilia should only be done under the guidance of a qualified genetic counselor.
• Patient history.
• Physical examination.
• Blood tests.
A PCR test for thrombophilia may include the following tests:
• Factor V Leiden mutation
• Coagulation factor II
• MTHFR gene mutation
• Prothrombin (factor II) mutation
What are the symptoms of thrombophilia?
Thrombophilia is not characterized by symptoms. Symptoms appear during the development of a clot and depend on where the clot is located:
• Hand or foot - sensitivity, heat, swelling, pain
• Stomach-vomiting, diarrhea, severe abdominal pain
• Shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, sweating, upper body discomfort, chest pain and pressure
• Lungs - shortness of breath, sweating, fever, coughing up blood, heart palpitations, chest pain
• Brain-speech problems, vision problems, dizziness, facial or limb weakness, sudden severe headache
DVT (deep vein thrombosis) usually affects only one leg. Symptoms can be:
• Swelling and pain in the lower leg or foot
• foot ache
• Pain that gets worse if you lift your leg
• Area warm to the touch
• Red skin, usually on the back of the leg, below the knee
DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can sometimes develop in both legs, eyes, brain, liver and kidneys.
If the thrombus breaks off and passes into the blood circulation, it may move to the lungs, which will lead to a disruption of the blood circulation in the lungs, a pulmonary embolism will develop, which is a life-threatening condition.
Symptoms of pulmonary embolism include:
• Chest pain
• Difficulty breathing
• Dizziness
• Dry cough or cough with bloody sputum
• Pain in upper back
• Dizziness
Pulmonary embolism requires immediate medical attention. If you have any of these symptoms, call 112 immediately.
Recurrent miscarriage can also be a sign that you may have thrombophilia.
What are the risk factors for thrombosis?
• Excess weight, immobilization, (long bed rest)
• Any chronic inflammatory disease
• Injury, flight, long-distance travel by any means of transport.
• At this time, blood clots occur in the veins of the lower limbs.
• surgery
• malignant tumor,
• Diabetes mellitus
• Sickle cell anemia
• Use of contraceptives
• In vitro fertilization
