[QUOTE="Marco N Cognito, post: 14959, member: 13"] I agree with all you state and practice everything you preach above, however, what we are talking about here are those with likely familial or acquired thrombophilia that are also hypogonadal. I have been on Xarelto for the last 9 mos. as a prophylaxis for DVT. I have elevated Factor VIII, although it is not always consistently elevated. Since it also an acute phase reactant, there is always the possibility that it stems from some type of unknown stressor or inflammation and is not familial. We just don't know yet. Since I've been dealing with other health issues for the last 6 mos., I haven't had a chance to look into this deeper, but will be. Until then, better safe than sorry. Also, have withheld TRT, but my last T levels weren't too bad anyway for a 55 year old (TT: 548 FT: 90), hardly hypogonadal. Oral DHEA, Testofen and Nettles seems to be keeping me in check in the meantime. If I could eliminate the need for an anticoagulant med, I would do it in a heartbeat, but I can't take that risk at this point. At least Xarelto has a less side effect profile than Warfarin and I haven't noticed any while on it. I am also on a low dose (10mg). Only risk is that there's no commercial antidote yet for Xarelto if you hemorrhage. Underlying chronic infections can cause a hypercoagulable state also, but I have tested for all, and all I show are past exposures and also don't have any symptoms (I have tested for Lyme, HHV-6, EBV, CMV, Candida, etc.).
