Summary:
1) OBJECTIVE the objective of the study is the investigation of the clinical manifestations that were detected in this study of familial thrombophilia factors, as well as an evaluation of the frequencies of the detected familial thrombophilia factors.
2) PATIENTS 31 patients were studied between January 2013 and January 2016, who were hospitalized or examined at the G.Gennimatas General Hospital of Athens. They had an acute thrombotic episode during their hospitalization or they had family history of thromboembolic disease, andhence the corresponding test for thrombophilia factors was executed. For some of them, an episode of thrombosis had occurred in the past, and the existence of a familial thrombophilia factor was already established.
3) RESULTS A recording was made of the known demographic data of the patients, medical history, and reason of admission to the hospital. Of these patients 28/31 were Greek and 3/31 were foreign nationals. Also, 9/31 were male and 22/31 were female. For the purposes of this study, 13 patients out of the original 31 were used, who conformed to the requirements, i.e. age up to 45 years old or unusual thrombosis site, and/or multiple thrombotic events. Of these four are male and nine are female. The clinical manifestations found in these thirteenpatients that may be attributed to the detected thrombophilia factors are studied. Also the frequencies of the detected familial thrombophilia factors are listed.
4) CONCLUSIONS Familial thrombophilia is a factor that may lead to hospitalization young people, and for this reason should be taken into account when someone young demonstrates some of the known complications, i.e. venal, and less frequently, arterial thrombosis, or multiple miscarriages, especially if other risk factors are also present.
