A Case Of Hypercoagulable State From A Family Health Center

Abstract

Hypercoagulability is used to describe patients with an increased risk of thrombosis due to genetic defects in the anticoagulant pathway or various predisposing causes. One or more components of the Virchow triad of stasis, endothelial damage and hypercoagulability are the main causes of thrombus formation. The prevalence of Factor V Leiden thrombophilia (FVL) in patients with spontaneous deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is 50%, while the annual incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients with FVL is 0.5%. Symptoms of DVT include unilateral calf or thigh pain, leg swelling and redness. The most common symptom of DVT is pain, and for definitive diagnosis, Doppler ultrasonography, one of the imaging methods, should be used to detect loss of compressibility on the vein and differential diagnosis should be made for symptoms. In this article, FVL thrombophilia will be discussed in a 38-year-old patient who presented to a family health center with ankle pain and swelling.
