Platelet Disorders

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.

Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA)

tPA is a powerful drug used to dissolve blood clots causing heart attacks, strokes, and pulmonary embolisms. While effective, it also carries risks, primarily bleeding.

Thrombosis: An Overview

Blood clots, called thrombosis, can form in deep veins and travel to the lungs (PE) causing serious complications. While often symptomless, watch for leg swelling, redness, and sudden shortness of breath. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent life-threatening risks.

Thrombophilia

Thrombophilia

Thrombophilia is an increased tendency to form blood clots. It can be inherited or acquired, raising the risk of DVT, PE, and other thrombotic events. Understanding its causes and management is crucial.

Hemophilia

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.
