Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor in hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism
Introduction: Endocrine disorders affect both the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems, and have been associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases. Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) is a link between the coagulation and fibrinolytic system. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism on TAFI levels and function. Methods:...
متن کاملPlatelets and thrombin generation.
This review examines the evidence that platelets play a major role in localizing and controlling the burst of thrombin generation leading to fibrin clot formation. From the first functional description of platelets, it has been recognized that platelets supply factors that support the activation of prothrombin. Studies have demonstrated that on activation, the amount of one specific lipid, phos...
متن کاملThrombin and platelet activation.
The accumulation of thrombin at sites of vascular injury provides one of the chief means for recruiting platelets into a growing hemostatic plug. Studies completed over the past 10 years show that platelet responses to thrombin are mediated by a subset of G protein-coupled receptors known as protease-activated receptors. These receptors are activated on cleavage by thrombin, initiating the intr...
متن کاملThrombin generation and venous thromboembolism.
Venous thromboembolism is a chronic and potential fatal disease. Determination of recurrence risk is time-consuming and costly, and sometimes not feasible: many patients carry more than one risk factor, the relevance of some factors with regard to risk of recurrence is unknown, and existence of thus far unknown risk factors must be considered. A laboratory assay that measures multifactorial thr...
متن کاملThrombin Generation in Zebrafish Blood.
To better understand hypercoagulability as an underlying cause for thrombosis, the leading cause of death in the Western world, new assays to study ex vivo coagulation are essential. The zebrafish is generally accepted as a good model for human hemostasis and thrombosis, as the hemostatic system proved to be similar to that in man. Their small size however, has been a hurdle for more widespread...
