How is antithrombin deficiency treated?

After you’ve had a clot, your provider may want you to take warfarin (Coumadin®), a blood thinner, for a few months or possibly long-term. People who have antithrombin deficiency but haven’t had a blood clot don’t need to take blood thinners.

Because 3% to 50% of pregnant people with an antithrombin deficiency get blood clots, your provider may decide to give you heparin injections during pregnancy to prevent blood clots during that special time.
