Abstract

Thrombophilia is a situation characterized by an increased tendency to thrombosis. The main objective of this work is to report on the experience of the Haematology Laboratory of the Avicenne Military Hospital of Marrakech, through a retrospective descriptive study carried out over a period of 9 years, on 200 requests for a thrombophilia check-up; and secondly, to discuss its indications and interest in the etiological diagnosis of unexplained thrombosis in the light of the latest recommendations. The thrombogenic risk factor most commonly found in our study was PS deficiency, in contrast to the predominance of Factor V mutation in Western countries, hence the importance of emphasizing that in clinical practice, the first-line thrombophilia assessment should always combine, in accordance with the latest recommendations: inhibitor deficiencies, F V and F II mutations, antiphospholipid antibodies and possibly F VIII determination.
