RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Arterial thrombosis is attributed mainly to atherosclerosis and the roles of hypercoagulability remain unclear In addition, there are ethnic variations in thrombophilia profiles. OBJECTIVE: The authors performed a survey of the thrombophilia profile in Thai patients with arterial thrombosis MATERIAL AND METHOD: The authors analyzed 103 consecutive cases of proven arterial thrombosis and requested thrombophilia profile in Chulalongkorn Hospital during 2003-2004. The mean age was 42.5 years. The proportions of stroke, peripheral arteries, and other sites were 70.9%, 22.3% and 6.8%, respectively. RESULTS: Abnormal profile was found in 35.0% with the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia, low protein S, antiphospholipid antibody and low protein C was 15.5%, 12.6%, 9.7%, and 5.8%, respectively. There was no difference in clinical characteristics between cases with or without detectable abnormalities. However, the authors found significant associations of low protein S with poor outcome and HIV seropositivity with antiphospholipid. CONCLUSION: The present study found that the defective protein C pathway may be the most common thrombophilia found in Thais with arterial thrombosis. Future study is required to prove the cause-effect relationship and its clinical significance.
