OBJECTIVE To evaluate the coagulation profile and its relation to steroid therapy, and the frequency of thromboembolic complications and its correlation with coagulation parameters in nephrotic syndrome (NS). SETTING Hospital based. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Forty children with NS were subdivided into four groups, namely, fresh cases, steroid dependent, remission after therapy and steroid resist...

COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has been shown to affect a multitude of organ systems. It often associated with vasculitis or thromboembolic disease resultant tissue hypoxia. This report presents case fast progression diabetic retinopathy in the SARS-CoV-2 infection. The findings conclude that patients diabetes should be more frequently mon...

The follow-up of patients with acute pulmonary embolism is an essential component their comprehensive care. This manuscript will discuss the critical components involved in outpatient embolism, including development post hospitalization clinics, assessment functional capacity and residual right ventricular function, anticoagulation, recurrence risk venous thromboembolism, retrieval inferior ven...

Congenital factor X deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder that presents with variable bleeding tendency and prolonged coagulation tests, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time. Thromboembolic events have not been reported in patients with factor X deficiency yet. Herein, we report a patient with factor X deficiency who had recurrent venous thromboembolic events.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is an emerging infectious disease with both pulmonary and extra-pulmonary manifestations. Although coagulation abnormalities are common in these patients, clinically overt thromboembolic events are rarely reported. This report describes the first case of pulmonary artery thrombosis in a patient with laboratory confirmed SARS.

We present a case report of patient with previously identified cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), who was admitted due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), confirmed by polymerase chain reaction computed tomography. Examination treatment these patients presents certain difficulties the large number thromboembolic complications cau...

Pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), with a reported incidence ranging from 0.49 to 2 events per 1000 deliveries. Risk factors include advanced maternal age, obesity, smoking, and cesarian section. Women with a history of previous VTE are at a 4-fold higher risk of recurrent thromboembolic events during subsequent pregnancies. Additionally, the presenc...

BACKGROUND Platelet hyperaggregation is known to be associated with arterial and venous thromboembolic events. The prevalence of platelet hyperaggregation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been described to date. METHODS Platelet hyperaggregation in patients with renal disease was defined by comparison of platelet aggregation patterns to non-CKD patients without thromboemb...

SETTING A general, public hospital serving a population of approximately 181,000 children in Hong Kong.
