  • Title: Clinical and laboratory evaluation of the hypercoagulable states.
    Author: Macik BG, Ortel TL.
    Journal: Clin Chest Med; 1995 Jun; 16(2):375-87. PubMed ID: 7656547.
    Abstract:
    In summary, every patient presenting with a new (or recurrent) thromboembolic event should be carefully assessed for potential predisposing factors. This starts with a thorough patient history and complete physical examination. If indicated, the clinical assessment is then used to guide the clinical laboratory evaluation for a potential hypercoagulable state. Identification of a specific hypercoagulable state, primary or secondary, is extremely important in the prognosis and therapeutic management of the individual patient.
