Factor V Leiden is a genetic point mutation in the F5 gene at the activated protein C (APC) cleavage site on the factor V and Va molecule leading to increase in thrombin and as a res...
It is critical to differentiate between provoked and unprovoked VTE and determine family history, risk factors, detailed symptoms.
In up to 70% of patients suffering from VTE, a provok...
