Blood tests for the diagnosis of venous and arterial thrombosis.
There are many reports in the literature of blood test abnormalities occurring in patients with venous or arterial thrombosis. Most of these have not used acceptable criteria for establishing an association between thrombosis and blood tests and, therefore, their interpretation is questionable. Recently, sensitive and specific assays have been developed for the detection of products of intravas...
متن کاملComplex Arterial and Venous Thrombosis in Polycythemia Vera: what Does Leukocytosis Predict?
Thromboembolic events represent the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with polycythemia vera. Leukocytosis has been identified as an important risk factor for development of vascular thrombosis. A 47-year-old woman with polycythemia vera presented with pain and swelling in her right calf.

متن کاملCommon risk factors for both arterial and venous thrombosis.
Arterial and venous thromboses have traditionally been viewed as distinct conditions, with differences in risk factors, pathology and treatment. However, recent epidemiological studies have suggested associations between venous thromboembolism, arterial thromboembolism (myocardial infarction and stroke) and atherosclerosis. While several biological mechanisms might contribute to these associati...
متن کاملRisk assessment for recurrent venous thrombosis.
Venous thrombosis is a common disease that frequently recurs. Recurrence can be prevented by anticoagulants, albeit at the cost of bleeding. Thus, assessment of the risk of recurrence is important to balance the risks and benefits of anticoagulation treatment. Many clinical and laboratory risk factors for recurrent venous thrombosis have been established. Nevertheless, prediction of recurrence ...
