Factor V Leiden

Journal of Infusion Nursing, 2009
As one whose family has been affected by factor V Leiden since 1980, the author knows firsthand the impact of this disease process on patients, outcomes, and practice. In today's healthcare environment, genetic screening for the factor V mutation is routine among pregnant women.

High risk of thrombosis recurrence in patients with homozygous and compound heterozygous factor V R506Q (Factor V Leiden) and prothrombin G20210A.

Thrombosis Research, 2019
OBJECTIVE Heterozygous Factor V R506Q [Factor V Leiden (FVL)] and prothrombin G20210A (PGM), the most common inherited thrombotic disorders in the Caucasian population, confer a low-moderate risk for first venous thromboembolic (VTE) event.

Factor V Leiden and hemophilia

Thrombosis Research, 2010
Several inherited prothrombotic risk factors have been identified so far. Among them, the factor V (FV) Leiden mutation causes a reduced ability of activated protein C to inactivate activated FV and is the most frequent genetic predisposing factor for venous thromboembolism.

Factor V Leiden and Contraception

Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health, 2004
Factor V Leiden is the most common genetic cause of primary and recurrent venous thromboembolism in women. It is an inherited thrombophilia that results from a genetic mutation. A college‐aged woman who presented for care and had a positive family history of venous thrombosis tested positive for Factor V Leiden.

Factor V Leiden

Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 2010
Venous thromboembolism accounts for approximately 600,000 hospitalizations and 50,000 deaths per year in the United States. Many inherited blood disorders predispose patients to this disorder. The most common of these disorders is factor V Leiden. Factor V Leiden thrombophilia is an inherited disorder, mutation, of the mechanisms of blood clotting. The

HELLP syndrome and factor V Leiden

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 2001
The association of thrombophilia and obstetrical complications is documented and well consistent with the hypothesis of an insufficient placental perfusion due to fibrin deposition as a major underlying pathophysiological mechanism. Factor V Leiden is one of the most frequent thrombophilic mutations. A high prevalence of this mutation has recently been

Factor V Leiden: A Clinical Review

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2001
Factor V Leiden is the most prevalent genetic thrombophilia in people of European descent. Since its discovery, much clinical information has been gathered regarding the distribution and prevalence of the genetic mutation, the mechanism of thrombophilia, and its association with clinical thromboembolic events.

Factor V Leiden: a disorder of factor V anticoagulant function

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2004
Activated protein C (APC) resistance, which is often associated with the factor V R506Q (FV Leiden) mutation, is a common risk factor for venous thrombosis. Study of the mechanism of APC resistance has revealed that coagulation FV stimulates the APC-catalysed inactivation of FVIIIa, and that this anticoagulant function of FV is impaired in FV Leiden ...

Factor V Leiden Mutation in Pregnancy

Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 2004
Normal maternal adaptation to pregnancy significantly increases the risk for thrombus formation. Inherited thrombophilias further increase risk for deep venous thrombosis and adverse outcome in pregnancy. Factor V Leiden mutation is the most common inherited thrombophilia, occurring in approximately 5% of the White and 1% of the Black populations ...
