Anticoagulant and antithrombotic therapy is given to prevent formation or propagation of thrombi. Anticoagulant drugs, unlike fibrinolytic agents, have little if any effect on an already-formed thrombus. There are five main classes of drugs that require consideration: 1. Coumarins and…
Introduction to thrombophilia Investigations to identify an acquired or inherited thrombotic tendency are most frequently carried out in patients who develop venous or arterial thrombosis at a young age, in those who have a strong family history of such events…
Components of normal haemostasis The haemostatic mechanisms have several important functions: (1) to maintain blood in a fluid state while it remains circulating within the vascular system; (2) to arrest bleeding at the site of injury or blood loss by…
