Inherited risk factors for venous thrombosis.
Venous thrombosis occurs as a consequence of genetic and environmental risk factors. Since the discovery of factor V Leiden, the most common genetic risk factor, there has been intense interest in clarifying the roles of genes and the environment with thrombosis risk. The translation of this risk information to clinical practice is a challenging one in the setting of a rapidly expanding knowled...
متن کاملRisk factors for venous thrombosis: prevalence, risk, and interaction.
Annually, 1 in 1,000 individuals is affected by venous thrombosis. Risk factors that are known to increase the risk of thrombosis may be either genetic or acquired, or have a combined origin. Many of these risk factors are very frequent, among which several have been recently identified, such as resistance to activated protein C by factor V Leiden, hyperhomocysteinemia, high levels of factors V...
متن کاملEvaluation of Guidelines and Risk Factors for Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism in Hospitalized Children: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Thromboembolism (TE) in pediatric population is rare but may be a fatal situation. There is a lack of clinical guidelines to help decision making for the use of prophylactic measures in pediatrics. This study was designed to evaluate current guidelines and risk factors for the prevention of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (DVT/PE) in children. Materials and Methods: Th...

effect of the WBC count. In both cases, complications occurred with the development of marked WBC count elevations a few days after initiating the cytokine treatment in clinically well individuals. These cases suggest that an acute elevation in the polymorphonuclear leukocyte count can promote acute sickle cell complications. Alternatively or additionally, G-CSF–induced changes in granulocyte f...
متن کاملCommon risk factors for both arterial and venous thrombosis.
Arterial and venous thromboses have traditionally been viewed as distinct conditions, with differences in risk factors, pathology and treatment. However, recent epidemiological studies have suggested associations between venous thromboembolism, arterial thromboembolism (myocardial infarction and stroke) and atherosclerosis. While several biological mechanisms might contribute to these associati...
