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.

Coagulation (Clotting) Disorders

Coagulation disorders disrupt blood clotting, causing abnormal bleeding or clotting. These can be inherited or acquired later in life due to various factors. Early diagnosis is crucial for proper management.
