Thrombophilia Criteria for Testing and Request Form (009)
Warning
BCSH Guidelines on testing for heritable thrombophilia (2010), as well as the RCOG Green Top Guideline 37a (April 2015) have highlighted likely excessive, and at times inappropriate, thrombophilia test requesting.
The following advice represents the local pragmatic adaptation of advice from the above national guidelines, and form a standard against which future audit can be undertaken. Essentially thrombophilia screening should only be undertaken if it can be envisaged that the results could influence the management either of the patient or their relatives.
