...it may be a good idea to mention that to her doctor, because he may want to run some tests that assess your daughter risks for thrombosis. Some of those tests are: Activated Protein C Resistance, Factor II mutation, Factor V Leiden, Anti-phospholipid G, M and A; Anti-Beta2 glycoprotein G, M and A; Anti-Prothrombin G and M; Lupus Anticoagulant. In combination with coronavirus any of these conditions could warrant anticoagulant therapy.
Many people are walking around with one or some combination of these traits and they do not realize it because they are not routinely tested for.
