Coagulation studies help you understand blood disorders, so you can pursue treatment options to improve your blood’s ability to form clots. Blood coagulation, or blood clotting, is a process in which ...

Hemophilia A and B coagulation defects, which are caused by deficiencies of Factor VIII and Factor IX, respectively, can be bypassed by administration of recombinant Factor VIIa. However, the short ...

When the body experiences an injury to a blood vessel, muscular response to the injury causes the vessel to constrict, decreasing blood flow to the area. The blood is exposed to collagen in the ...

Using a high-sensitivity blood test (SMAT) that measures initial thrombin generation (ITG)—the very first step of blood clot formation—the researchers analyzed blood samples from 771 patients with ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have developed a highly sensitive blood test that can detect subtle differences in how easily blood begins to clot, offering new possibilities for tailoring ...

Studies by researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center suggest that one of the immune system’s oldest branches, the complement system, and coagulation dysfunction, may be influencing the ...

When injured, endothelial cells permit granulocytes and plasma constituents to enter inflamed tissue, which may lead to organ damage. Endothelial cell inflammation causes vasodilation through the ...
