Platelet aggregation test: Checking how blood cells clump to form clots using different agonists.
Platelet Disorders
The Physiology of Hemostasis
Hemostasis is the remarkable biological process that keeps our blood flowing within the confines of our vascular network.
Platelets: Guardians of Hemostasis
From their role in wound healing to their potential for causing harm, platelets are a captivating paradox.
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.
Arterial Thrombosis
Heart attacks, strokes, amputations: All linked to one silent threat. Explore the world of arterial thrombosis and learn how to prevent it.
Platelet Aggregation Test (PAT)
Platelet aggregation test: Checking how blood cells clump to form clots using different agonists.
Hemophilia
Hemophilia is a rare inherited blood disorder that affects the ability of blood to clot. People with hemophilia often bleed for longer than usual after an injury or surgery.
Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (Hemorrhagic Disease of the Newborn)
Hemorrhagic disease of the newborn is a bleeding disorder that occurs in newborns due to a deficiency of vitamin K.
von Willebrand Disease (VWD)
Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a common inherited bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a protein that helps blood clot.
