[|Human|] He has factor five laden & just had gall bladder surgery. Found out he has a blood clot. He hasnt been on blood thinners in 6 months due to excessive bleeding, he stopped taking them. Should he be in the hospital being treated?? He does have a filter from 2004 and they found it was poking through his vein. He is extreme pain the clot is in his thigh. We do not know his inr & we was never told. Should he be in the hospital? He has always been in there before when he got them.
[|AI|]  Hi, Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, factor 5 Leiden is a reason to be on blood thinners. Surgery is a trigger for clot formation. If a large clot is inside a vessel then not only is it a reason to be on blood thinners, but there is a risk the clot can be fatal if dislodged, so someone is often hospitalized for 2 days while the blood thinners are started. But there are a number of possible other factors such as the previous bleeding, so I can only say generally what is done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
