Thrombophilia Profile Interpretation
Use
Interpretation of testing performed as part of a profile to evaluate patients with thrombosis or hypercoagulability states including detecting a lupus-like anticoagulant; dysfibrinogenemia; disseminated intravascular coagulation/intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis, detecting a deficiency of antithrombin, protein C, or protein S, detecting activated protein C resistance (and the factor V R506Q [Leiden] mutation if indicated), and detecting the prothrombin G20210A mutation.

Limitations
Thrombophilia testing is best performed in medically stable patients who are not receiving oral vitamin K inhibitor (eg, warfarin, Coumadin), heparin, low-molecular-weight heparin, hirudin (Refludan), argatroban, fibrinolytic agents (eg, streptokinase, tissue plasminogen activator), or platelet GPIIbIIIa (alpha IIb beta3) inhibitors (abxicimab [ReoPro], tirofiban, aggrastat). However, useful information can be obtained in patients receiving anticoagulation therapy.
