Thrombosis Panel

The Thrombosis Panel includes testing for Prothrombin (Factor II) G20210A mutation analysis and Factor V Leiden mutation analysis with reflex to Factor V HR2 if the Factor V Leiden testing is positive. Individuals with multiple thrombophilic mutations develop venous thromboembolism at a younger age and are at higher risk for recurrent thrombosis than those with a single defect.

The panel may be ordered as is or the tests may be ordered individually.

Indications for Testing

• Deep vein thrombosis
• Pulmonary embolism
• Stroke
• Superficial venous thrombosis, phlebitis or thrombophlebitis
• History of thromboembolism
• Premature cardiovascular disease
• Peripheral vascular artery disease
• Acute myocardial infarction
• Personal history of 2 or more blood-clotting incidents
• Family history of blood clots, early stroke or premature vascular artery disease
• Unexplained early-onset severe preeclampsia, placental abruption, or significant intrauterine growth retardation
• Recurrent unexplained first-trimester losses
