Abstract

Thrombophilia is a group of inherited or acquired disorders that increase the risk of blood clotting in veins and arteries. Thrombophilia profile refers to a panel of laboratory tests used to identify these disorders, including activated protein C resistance, antithrombin III, protein C and protein S deficiencies, and elevated homocysteine levels. These tests help to diagnose thrombophilia and determine the appropriate treatment, which may involve anticoagulant medications, lifestyle modifications, or replacement therapy with specific proteins. Thrombophilia profile testing is especially important in individuals with a personal or family history of blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, or unexplained thrombosis. Early identification and treatment of thrombophilia can help to prevent potentially life-threatening complications
