How do you check if you have a clotting disorder in the family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood tests/history: If there is a history in the family of blood clotting, certain blood tests can be evaluated to determine if there is a genetic (heritable) marker that predisposes the family to clotting. Seeing a specialist - a hematologist - is the best solution to determining this.
