hereditary trombophilias

BACKGROUND: Inherited thrombophilia is a genetic tendency to suffer thrombotic events clinically evident at an early age, with frequent re- currences without apparent cause. In recent years thrombophilia has earned a place as a primary risk factor for abnormal pregnancy. OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of hereditary thrombophilia in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A retrospective, linear and descriptive study was conducted at Clinic of Reproduction IMMUNOREP with patients treated from January 2007 to December 2012...

One of the major causes of maternity death are complications of venous thromboembolism (VT). Risk of their occurrence during pregnancy is 5 to 10 times higher comparing to non-pregnant women. Hereditary trombophilia and antiphospholipid syndrome increase the risk of complications of venous thromboembolism significantly. In addition to VT, trombophilia is associated with miscarriage, placental abruption and severe preeclampsia. The aggravating factor is the presence of certain limitations in administration of some medications for thrombosis prophylaxis during pregnancy...

OBJECTIVE: Mutations in hemocoagulation factors genes are nowadays routinely examined parameters, important in hereditary trombophilia determination. We have complexly evaluated laboratory data from the 211 unselected patients with venous thrombosis, and compared with the former studies in the same Slovakian population. RESULTS: The Factor V Leiden mutation (FVL) was found in 43 of 211 patients (20.38%), with the mutant allele frequency=10.2%, while the prothrombine G20210A mutation was revealed in 11/205 individuals (5...
