How does the doctor find out if you have Factor V Leiden?

The coagulation factor may be Factor V. Patients with Factor V Leiden may be at a higher risk of developing liver cirrhosis or fibrosis and/or of rapid progression of liver cirrhosis or fibrosis.

Factor V Leiden is the most common of these mutations.

Most women with factor V Leiden have normal pregnancies.

For factor V Leiden, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:

Factor V Leiden is the name of a specific gene mutation that causes thrombophilia.

One such mutation is the Factor V Leiden, in which it is hard for factor V to be broken down, resulting in clots being easily formed because the factor V stays in the blood too long.

Deficiency leads to predisposition for hemorrhage, while some mutations (most notably factor V Leiden) predispose for thrombosis.

In fact, only about 10 percent of people with factor V Leiden do.

However, the factor V Leiden mutation keeps the anti-clotting proteins from breaking down factor V, which keeps it in the blood longer and increases the chance of clotting.

Factor V Leiden is a genetic mutation of the coagulation cascade Factor V. This mutation increases a person's risk of blood clots, especially in the deep veins.

The additional clotting risk is because Factor V Leiden is resistant to being deactivated by a protein called activated protein C, which keeps normal Factor V activity controlled.
