The coagulation cascade is a finely balanced system essential for maintaining haemostasis, yet its disruption can lead to either a propensity for bleeding or an increased risk of clot formation.

Coagulation studies help you understand blood disorders, so you can pursue treatment options to improve your blood’s ability to form clots. Blood coagulation, or blood clotting, is a process in which ...

Coagulation disorders refer to conditions that affect how the body controls blood clotting. This can mean the body forms too many or too few blood clots. Coagulation disorders are usually due to a ...

CRP, C-reactive protein; F, factor; IL-6, interleukin 6; NO, nitric oxide; PAI-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; ROS, reactive oxygen species; TNF-α, tumor ...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a condition that affects your blood’s clotting abilities. It can either set in slowly or happen very suddenly under particular conditions. It’s also ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have developed a highly sensitive blood test that can detect subtle differences in how easily blood begins to clot, offering new possibilities for tailoring ...

A recent study led by MedUni Vienna provides new insights into the mechanisms of coagulation in persons with hemophilia A, the most common form of hemophilia. The research team was able to show that ...

Routine coagulation assays are widely performed in laboratories and provide valuable information to the patient’s overall clinical picture. It’s important for laboratorians to know the methodology of ...

Using a high-sensitivity blood test (SMAT) that measures initial thrombin generation (ITG)—the very first step of blood clot formation—the researchers analyzed blood samples from 771 patients with ...

Hemophilia B, also known as Christmas disease, is a bleeding disorder. Its characteristic feature is a deficiency of clotting factor IX. This is a protein present in the blood that helps with ...
