Should we screen Eastern Mediterranean COVID-19 patients for inherited thrombophilia?

Medical Hypotheses
Georges El Hasbani, A T Taher

Abstract

The inflammatory component of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) creates a pro-thrombotic state that necessitates a thrombophylactic strategy for hospitalized patients. Such strategies are difficult to be standardized because certain individuals can have pro-thrombotic conditions, such as inherited thrombophilia, which pre-dispose them to an additional coagulative risk. Whether outside the hospital or when admitted, patients with inherited thrombophilia need special anticoagulant and antiplatelet attention. Identifying such patients, especially in susceptible populations like the eastern Mediterranean (EM) region, will aid primary providers in risk stratification for choosing the optimal anticoagulation or antiplatelet plan.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
