Weil's disease with elevated plasma D-dimer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of Weil's disease manifesting elevation of plasma D-dimer in the acute phase. Later, in the convalescent phase after treatment, the plasma levels of D-dimer returned to normal. Plasma D-dimer can be used as a marker of fibrin formation and degradation. Based on our observations, we conjecture that fibrin formation and fibrinolysis may occur in the acute phase of Weil's disease.

Received: 16 Oct, 2012 Accepted: 22 Dec, 2012 Background & Aims : Liver cirrhosis is associated with coagulation disorders due to decreased synthesis of clotting and inhibitor factors. It has been hypothesized that ascites plays an important role in hyperfibrinolytic state and increased risk of bleeding. We have studied the role of ascites in the hyper fibrinolytic state and relationsh...
