Can Allergies cause Blood Clots?
by kgw2008, Feb 21, 2008 11:53AM
By brother has a few clots in his legs. For the past year and a half every doctor imagineable has tested him for the reason behind having them and none of them have been able to give him a diagnosis. They say he is healthy and his blood tests are all fine. No cancer, protein problems, etc. I was wondering if an allergy to a drug or food might bring on clots? The only thing that is keeping him alive right now is Heprin, which they have him on a high dose of. Any ideas, please help.
thanks, kgw2008

Your doctor must have given you the cause of the clots or explained the possible diagnosis to you.
It is very difficult to say anything with certainty without a proper clinical examination and without having a look at the lesions.
How were the blood clots diagnosed? What symptoms is your brother having?
Allergy as being the cause is very less likely. The best option would be to consult your doctor again and talk to him/her in detail about all the doubts that you are having.
Let us know what your doctor tells you.
Regards.
