Overview

Thrombophilias must be differentiated from other diseases that cause the following clinical presentations: family history of thrombosis, especially at an early age (< 45 years), unprovoked thrombosis at an early age (<40-55 for venous thrombosis and <50-55 for arterial thrombosis), recurrent thrombosis including deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or superficial venous thrombosis.

Differential Diagnosis

Thrombophilias must be differentiated from other diseases that cause the following clinical presentations:[1][2]
