Is dvt a hereditary problem?

Hereditary problem: Yes it can be. There are several mutations that can occur in certain genes that are responsible for causing the blood to clot more resulting in DVTs. If your mom or dad has a significant history, it is wise that they are tested especially if their DVT was not related to medications/trauma/surgery.

Not always.: One of the risk factors for a DVT is hypercoagulability, or in inborn propensity to develop clots. There are genetically-mediated clotting disorders that can lead to DVT. But heredity is not the only cause of DVT.

Dvt: There is a hereditary component if there is a family history of hypercoagulable state

DVT: Some people who have blood clotting disorders in the family are at risk for getting DVT as they also may have the same problem.

DVT and hereditary.: DVT is not hereditary but but the factors that puts one at risk for developing DVT can be hereditary (genetic) or acquired. Genetic factors run in families such as hemophilia and leiden factor five. Acquired factors do not run in family lines but can be acquired during the aging process. Having a genetic or acquired clotting propensity will increased one's risk for developing a DVT.
