Prevention of thrombosis (Thrombophilia test) and stroke
Early detection of the disease
Thrombophilia is a disorder that causes the body to produce blood clots, this blockage can cause serious health problems. In 70% its causes are genetic, so this analysis will allow you to know in a preventive way how likely you are to suffer from it.

What is thrombophilia?
-
Formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, which can cause total or partial obstruction of blood flow in that area. Thrombosis can occur anywhere in the body, but it is more common in the legs and arms.
WHAT IS STROKE?
-
A cerebrovascular disorder that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted or significantly reduced. This can occur as a result of a thrombosis in a cerebral artery (called cerebral thrombosis) or the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain (called cerebral hemorrhage).
Why does it happen?
-
50% of cases of thrombophilia have a genetic cause, 70% of people who have this disease are unaware of it, not being able to prevent its development in time.
What are the symptoms?
-
Blood clots cause a blockage, preventing the proper circulation of blood. This can lead to thrombus symptoms such as swelling, warmth, pain, and redness in the area.
Who should have this test?
-
Thrombophilia is a disorder that affects mostly women, although other studies have found that there is no clear gender difference in the incidence of thrombophilia. In women, it can be the cause of not getting pregnant, losing the baby, or complications during childbirth.
- Family history of thrombosis.
- Family members of carriers of any mutation in thrombophilia genes and possibility of hereditary thrombophilia.
- Personal history of venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
- High blood pressure.
- Diabetes.
- Obesity.
- Smoking.
- Recurrent abortions.
- Women taking oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, or other hormonal treatment.
- Risk of thrombi from the COVID-19 vaccine.
- Diseases that increase the risk of stroke and thrombosis.
As for stroke, the risk is slightly higher in men than in women in most age groups. However, women have a higher mortality rate from stroke than men. In addition, some research has found that women have different stroke symptoms than men, such as headache, nausea, and vomiting.
The incidence and risk of stroke can also vary according to age, ethnic origin.
The main objective of the thrombophilia and stroke study is prevention, and having the possibility of proposing a treatment that reduces the risk of developing complications in cases of:
genes analyzed in this exam
-
The genetic study of thrombophilia and stroke detects the G20210A mutations in the F2 gene, G1691A in the F5 gene, and the C677T and A1298C mutations in the MTHFR gene.
