Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of thrombophilia-hypercoagulability in ischemic colitis (IC).
Material And Methods: Thrombophilia and fibrinogen were evaluated in 56 cases of IC and 44 controls with known predisposing factors but no evidence of IC. Thrombophilic factors tested were: protein C (PC), protein S, antithrombin (AT), resistance to activated protein C (APCR), lupus anticoagulant (LA), factor V G1691A mutation (FV Leiden), prothrombin G20210A mutation, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C677T and A1298C mutations and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene 5G/4G and 4G/4G polymorphisms.
