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.
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.

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.

Lipoprotein(a): The Silent Heart Risk You Need to Know
Lp(a): genetic risk for clots & heart disease. Not lowered by diet. Tests measure levels. Manage other risk factors.
Physiology of Hemostasis
Hemostasis is the remarkable biological process that keeps our blood flowing within the confines of our vascular network.
Platelet
From their role in wound healing to their potential for causing harm, platelets are a captivating paradox.
Manual APTT Mixing Studies
Manual APTT mixing studies involve mixing patient plasma with normal plasma or specific factor concentrates to differentiate factor deficiencies from inhibitors
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare and life-threatening blood disorder that causes blood clots to form throughout the body.
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) Blood Test
The APTT assay measures how long it takes for a blood clot to form by measuring the amount of time it takes for fibrinogen to be converted to fibrin.
Prothrombin Time (PT) & INR
The PT assay is used to diagnose and monitor a variety of bleeding and clotting disorders by measuring how long it takes a blood clot to form.
