Thrombophilia Screening: Best Practices and Who Should be Tested?

What does thrombophilia testing mean for patients or their families? Do you know when and who to test for thrombophilia? In this podcast, experts Prof. Saskia Middeldorp and Prof. Jean Connors explore the diagnostic challenges for thrombophilia and which patients can benefit most from screening. In specific situations, testing can be crucial, but not always. Before testing, it is important to understand whether testing is needed and consider how it will provide support for decision making. ASH guidelines may be helpful. The experts discuss how these recommendations should be applied in general practice, as some caution is recommended.    Watch a video of the experts in conversation and download the full transcript on the COR2ED website: https://cor2ed.com/hemostasis-connect/programmes/thrombophilia-testing-part2/   Or go to the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uvXTtZHdT1k   Want to find out more?
