Usage: Thrombophilia evaluations are usually performed to assess the need to extend anticoagulation, hence testing should be performed in a steady-state, remote from the acute event. Laboratory assays to detect thrombophilic states include highly sensitive and specific tests like molecular diagnosis, immunologic and functional assays. Many coagulation factors and inhibitors are affected during acute thrombosis, acute illnesses, inflammatory conditions, pregnancy & certain medications. Antithrombin is decreased by heparin and acute thrombosis whereas protein C & S levels are increased during acute thrombosis, but decreased by Warfarin.
