thrombophilia/albumin

OBJECTIVE Patients with symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) commonly present to the emergency department (ED). The aim of this study was to assess the role of ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) testing in the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE). METHODS This was a

Cross-linking of fibrinogen at its COOH-terminal gamma chain cross-linking site occurs in the presence of factor XIIIa due to self-association at a constitutive D domain site ("gammaXL"). We investigated the contribution of COOH-terminal regions of fibrinogen Aalpha chains to the gammaXL site by

The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is increased in patients with albuminuria. However, whether a low serum albumin concentration is associated with increased risk of VTE has been a matter of controversy. We determined the association of serum albumin with VTE incidence in two large,

OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the prospective association of serum albumin with venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk and evaluate if the association is independent of or modified by inflammation, as measured by high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). METHODS We analysed data of 2176 men aged 42-61

Isovolemic hemodilution (IVHD) has been advocated as an effective method of reducing the need for transfusion but has been associated with hypercoagulability. We tested the hypothesis that IVHD enhances hemostatic function by decreasing circulating antithrombin activity in rabbits. Furthermore, it

BACKGROUND In cancer patients, reduced serum albumin has been described as a marker for global declining health and poor prognosis. Our aim was to investigate the association of albumin concentrations with the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and mortality in patients with

OBJECTIVE Albumin may enhance and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) may impair haemostasis. While the effects are also dependent on haemodilution we minimized it by early structured transfusion therapy, and compared albumin and HES regarding blood loss and coagulation parameters in hip arthroplasty

Hypoalbuminemia is a common finding and independent predictor for unfavorable prognosis. The prognostic value of albumin measurement for short-term VTE prediction in hospitalized patients remains unclear. In the APEX trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01583218), medical inpatients were

BACKGROUND The reported incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) varies widely, as does the approach to prophylactic anticoagulation. We aimed to assess the incidence of VTE in patients with primary NS in order to inform a sample size calculation to

High levels of histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) have been claimed to contribute to the hypofibrinolytic state observed in patients with venous thrombosis. These abnormalities were detected, respectively, in eight and 10 members of a family from which

OBJECTIVE To described cardiovascular risk factors in women with inheritable thrombophilia 8-19 years after early-onset hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HD) with or without recurrent HD. METHODS Women with recurrent HD were compared with women with single HD, for physical examination and

OBJECTIVE Published evidence on the incidence and predictors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with cirrhosis of the liver is reviewed. CONCLUSIONS The frequently observed phenomenon of elevated International Normalized Ratio (INR) values in patients with cirrhosis has led to a theory of

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is known to be frequently associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE). Although treatment and prophylaxis strategies for VTE in PC patients were updated recently, these were mainly based on data from Western populations and were not verified in East Asian ethnic
