Coagulation cascade creates a fibrin mesh that strengthens and stabilizes the platelet plug into a permanent clot.
Platelet Disorders
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.
Vascular Bleeding Disorders
Vascular bleeding disorders come in two forms: inherited (passed down in families) and acquired (developed throughout life due to factors like vitamin deficiencies or medications). Both cause easy bruising & abnormal 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.

von Willebrand Disorder (vWD)
Von Willebrand disorder (VWD) is a common inherited bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a protein that helps blood clot.
