background: type 2 diabetic mellitus patients are amongst the most susceptible groups to vascular abnormalities, which predominantly lead to myocardial disease. the hypercoagulable state has been widely studied by researchers as being the major suspicious mechanism facilitating the consecutive chain of molecular events leading to these complications. however, there is no consensus on the defini...

* nephrotic syndrome is a hypercoagulable state * thrombotic episodes are frequent manifestations of the hypercoagulable state in nephrotic syndrome * although less common than venous thrombosis, arterial thrombosis may be life-threatening * normal coronary vessels may be seen in young patients with acute myocardial infarction * a hypercoagulable state is a possible contributory factor to coron...

Thalassemia is a congenital hemolytic disorder caused by a partial or complete deficiency of alpha- or beta-globin chain synthesis. Homozygous carriers of beta-globin gene defects suffer from severe anemia and other serious complications from early childhood. The disease is treated by chronic blood transfusion. However, this can cause severe iron overload resulting in progressive organ failure....

It has been suggested that haemodilution with saline may increase whole blood coagulation. This study was conducted in two parts. First, we investigated the effect of in vitro dilution of blood with saline on whole blood coagulation as measured by the thrombelastogram (TEG). Blood (4 ml) was diluted with 0.9% saline 1 ml and coagulation compared with that of an undiluted control specimen obtain...
