Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare genetic disorder causing abnormal blood vessels, leading to frequent nosebleeds and internal bleeding.
Platelet Disorders
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a genetic disorder characterized by joint hypermobility, skin elasticity, and often fragile tissues. It can cause pain, fatigue, and other complications.
Embolus & Embolism
An embolus is a traveling blood clot that can block blood flow, causing serious complications like pulmonary embolism or stroke. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent these life-threatening risks.
Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome (CAPS) is a rare, severe autoimmune disease causing rapid-onset, widespread blood clotting and multi-organ failure. Prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment are crucial for survival.
Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder that increases the risk of blood clots, pregnancy complications, and other health problems. Early diagnosis and management are crucial.
Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)
Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare genetic disorder causing abnormal blood vessels, leading to frequent nosebleeds and internal bleeding.
Dengue & Thrombocytopenia
Dengue isn’t just a fever and rash. This mosquito-borne illness can cause severe complications like bleeding and shock. Early diagnosis is key to preventing these and ensuring a smooth recovery for patients.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Blood clot in leg vein, triggered by slow flow & damage. Can travel to lungs (PE), causing breathing problems & even death.
Fibrinolysis
The process of fibrinolysis dissolves fibrin clots after wound healing, restoring blood flow and preventing unwanted thrombus formation.
Secondary Hemostasis: Coagulation Cascade
Coagulation cascade creates a fibrin mesh that strengthens and stabilizes the platelet plug into a permanent clot.
Primary Hemostasis: The Platelet Plug
A formation of an quick but unstable plug as a first response to stop bleeding. Our very own platelet patch.
Venous Thrombosis (VTE)
Venous thromboembolism: Unilaterla leg pain with lungs at risk. Master Virchow’s triad (stasis, hypercoagulability, injury), recognize DVT & PE, and advocate for early diagnosis & prevention.
