A member asked:
Is pt and ptt enough to test for hyper-clotting disorder? is fibrinogen needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, see below: Hyper-clotting disorders can be inherited or acquired. Common tests for inherited hyper-clotting diseases include testing for antithrombin, protein C and S deficiencies, factor V leiden and prothrombin gene mutations. For acquired ones, tests may include antiphopholipid syndrome, myeloproliferative, PNH, etc. Fibrinogen is reactive and dysfibrinogenemia is rare for thrombosis, thus not included.
