[Thrombophilia risk factors evaluation in a group of Italian patients with deep venous thrombosis].
Venous thrombosis usually results from coexistence of multiple genetic and acquired risk factors with a trigger condition. In this study the authors report their experience in a cohort of Italian patients with previous venous thrombosis.


METHODS
We considered 292 consecutive patients. Each patient was studied by using a panel of functional and genetic tests to detect some of the most relevant thrombophilia risk factors.


RESULTS
The single most frequent thrombophilia risk factor was activated C protein resistance due to FV Leiden. Tests for anti phospholipids auto antibodies showed reactivity in 62 subjects.


CONCLUSIONS
The great majority (80%) of patients showed almost one thrombophilia risk factor. Presence of multiple risk factors was demonstrated in 128 (44%) patients.
