[Experience with outpatient treatment for thromboses and thrombophilias]
Aim:
To evaluate the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of thromboses in patients with thrombophilia in an outpatient setting.
Subjects And Methods:
One hundred and seventy-two patients with different forms of thrombophilic states were examined. One hundred and thirty-two patients were found to have genetic mutations, of them 125 patients had multiple mutations. Thromboses were diagnosed in 130 patients with genetic disorders.
Results:
The most common laboratory markers of thrombophilias were hyperhomocysteinemia (55%), sticky platelet syndrome (41%), and laboratory findings of antiphospholipid syndrome. Thrombogenic mutations, such as plasminogen activator plasminogen inhibitor-1 (73%), methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (60%), platelet glycoprotein 1a receptors (50%), and fibrinogen (42%), were most often diagnosed. The efficiency of treatment was shown to largely depend on the duration of an initial thrombotic process.
Conclusion:
Outpatient treatment for thromboses is more economical and comfortable for patients. To avoid hospital admissions, it is necessary to time detect the disease and to start its treatment as soon as possible. The concurrent use of ultrasonography, genetic and laboratory diagnostic methods accelerates the identification and localization of the pathology, which facilitates its treatment and frequently rules out the need for patient hospitalization.
