Clinical guidelines for thrombophilia

Clinical guidelines for thrombophilia help doctors decide when to test and treat people at risk of blood clots due to genetic or acquired conditions that cause increased clotting tendency. The decision depends on individual factors such as personal or family history of blood clots, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions. Testing is usually recommended for those with strong risk factors to guide treatment options, like blood thinners. The goal is to prevent serious complications, like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, while avoiding unnecessary treatments. These guidelines assist healthcare providers in balancing risks and benefits for each patient.
