My brother has been in the hospital several times now with blood clots and now he has 3 clots in his lungs, how can we inform the doctors to look for this disease it runs strong in my family?
Factor V Leiden is hereditary problem . It is a hypercoagulability disorder. This was first reported in 1994. This problem has no permanent solution because it is genetically inherited. Only symptomatic treatments are available. I advise you to visit again a doctor and get symptomatic treatment as this problem is life long. For more details, visit factor V Leiden.
