Prothrombin G20210A Mutation treatment in Aguascalientes

The prothrombin 20210A mutation is a genetic variant that increases the blood's tendency to form clots. It is part of what are called inherited thrombophilias, conditions that predispose to the formation of clots more easily than usual.

Common causes: it is inherited from the parents and affects one of the proteins involved in clotting, tipping the balance toward clot formation.

Common symptoms: many people have no symptoms; when they appear, they are usually related to the formation of clots in the veins, such as swelling, pain, or redness in a leg.

Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon evaluate the venous circulation problems associated with this predisposition. If your family has a history of clots or you have had an episode of thrombosis, it is worth discussing it with a professional.
