Key result
Identification of the etiology of thrombosis depends on both clinical and laboratory evaluation and assumes major importance for designing appropriate therapy.
Highlights the importance of cooperative clinical and laboratory evaluation to identify the etiology of thrombosis for designing appropriate therapy.
Integrated clinical-laboratory evaluation guides thrombosis therapy; leaves open standardized diagnostic algorithms for subtypes.
Increased knowledge about basic physiology of hemostasis, the identification of new blood protein defects leading to thrombosis, coupled with development of new, simple, readily available laboratory testing techniques now allows the cause of thrombosis to be identified in most patients. Because of this, clinicians and laboratory scientists must not only be familiar with blood protein defects associated with thrombosis, but must evaluate patients in a cooperative manner. Identification of the etiology will depend on both clinical and laboratory evaluation and assumes major importance for designing appropriate therapy.
