Platelet Disorders

Pulmonary Embolism (PE)

A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening blockage in lung arteries, often from a leg clot. Urgent diagnosis and treatment are vital.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

PAD: Narrowed leg arteries causing pain, slow healing. Risk factors include smoking & diabetes. Early detection is key to prevent complications.

Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare but serious reaction to heparin. It causes low platelet counts & raises clotting risk. Early diagnosis and stopping heparin are crucial.

Dengue & Thrombocytopenia

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.

Fibrinolysis

Fibrinolysis

The process of fibrinolysis dissolves fibrin clots after wound healing, restoring blood flow and preventing unwanted thrombus formation.

Venous Thrombosis (VTE)

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.
