Haemostasis in hypothyroidism.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abnormalities that have been reported for platelet indices and function, coagulation factors and tests, and the fibrinolytic system in hypothyroidism are reviewed. These abnormalities, although usually of limited importance clinically, may occasionally lead to major bleeding episodes and to diagnostic confusion.

Subclinical hypothyroidism and deep venous thrombosis. A pilot cross-sectional study.
Several in-vivo studies have shown a procoagulant state in both overt and subclinical hyperthyroidism and in subclinical hypothyroidism. Insofar, no clinical studies have ever evaluated the relationship between thyroid dysfunction and clinically deep venous thrombosis (DVT). A pilot cross-sectional study aimed at assessing the frequency of overt and subclinical thyroid dysfunction patients with...
متن کاملThe even closer link between the thyroid and haemostasis.
The close relationship between thyroid hormones and the coagulation system has been known since the beginning of the past century and has been analysed over the decades by several investigators (1). Accordingly, various haemostatic abnormalities, involving both primary haemostasis and the coagulation/fibrinolytic system, have been reported in patients affected by a wide variety of endocrine dis...
متن کاملElevated thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) antigen levels in overt and subclinical hypothyroid patients were reduced by levothyroxine replacement.
The influence of hypothyroidism on haemostasis is an active research area. Not only bleeding tendency but also hypercoagulable states have been reported in hypothyroid patients. Decreased and increased fibrinolytic activity in hypothyroid patients has been shown in several studies. Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) is an inhibitor of fibrinolysis, which has been recently isolat...
متن کاملAssociation between thyroid dysfunction and venous thromboembolism in the elderly: a prospective cohort study.
BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE) and subclinical thyroid dysfunction (SCTD) are both common in elderly patients. SCTD has been related to a hypercoagulable state and an increased thromboembolic risk. However, prospective data on the relationship between SCTD and VTE are lacking. OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between SCTD and recurrent VTE (rVTE), all-cause mortality, and t...
متن کاملProthrombotic changes due to an increase in thyroid hormone levels.
OBJECTIVE With increasing free thyroxine levels, a gradually rising risk of venous thromboembolism has been described in case-control studies. However, reports on the influence of thyroid hormones on haemostasis, while suggesting a hypercoagulable state in thyrotoxicosis, have often been inconclusive. This study evaluates multiple markers of haemostasis and fibrinolysis in a paired design, maki...
