The blood coagulation system of 66 consecutive patients undergoing consecutive liver transplantations was monitored by thrombelastograph and analytic coagulation profile. A poor preoperative coagulation state, decrease in levels of coagulation factors, progressive fibrinolysis, and whole blood clot lysis were observed during the preanhepatic and anhepatic stages of surgery. A further general de...

Background: Regarding the limited studies about effects of addiction on coagulation factors as a risk factor for increasing coagulation, and its relation to coronary artery disease, we decided to investigate the effect of opium on inflammatory and coagulation factors in a controlled setting.Methods: This case-control study was performed using two groups of smoking males addicted to opium (27 ca...

There is wide variation in the management of coagulation and blood transfusion practice in liver transplantation. The use of blood products intraoperatively is declining and transfusion free transplantations take place ever more frequently. Allogenic blood products have been shown to increase morbidity and mortality. Primary haemostasis, coagulation and fibrinolysis are altered by liver disease...

A simple and affordable method of evaluating blood coagulation ability using microfluidic paperbased lateral flow assay (LFA) device is reported. Rabbit whole blood treated with citrate as anticoagulant was used in experiments. Re-establishment of blood coagulation cascade and creation of different coagulation abilities were achieved by adding CaCl2 solutions of varying concentrations. Since vi...

(A review of the blood coagulation system of fish). Hemostasis is a function of paramount importance when an animal is responding to an injury or has a blood coagulation disorder. It is important to stop the bleeding after a vascular injury, in order to prevent blood loss, so the body needs an effective coagulation mechanism. In fish, despite the fact that there are many studies about the intri...

We investigated the effect of clot activators carried over from the serum tube on major coagulation tests during phlebotomy. First, blood specimens from 30 normal subjects were mixed with small amounts of fluid containing clot activators, and their effects on various coagulation tests were determined. Only the value of fibrin monomer complex displayed a remarkable change when thrombin-containin...
