Research finds microplastics in human blood correlated with lifestyle habits and changes in coagulation markers, emphasizing the need to mitigate exposure and its health risks. Study: Microplastic ...

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 ...

DIC can be acute or chronic in nature. Chronic DIC is generally seen in the cancer population and is demonstrated as localized thrombotic events (eg, deep vein thromboses). Chronic DIC is defined as a ...

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 ...

Protein S activity is a test to judge your risk of blood clots. Blood clots that form in the veins are dangerous. Protein S is a substance that controls the blood clotting mechanism and prevents ...

Blood clotting disorders can be inherited or acquired and lead to either excessive bleeding or too much clotting. Hypercoagulable disorders can cause dangerous blockages due to excessive blood ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered how a molecule found on certain bacteria may drive blood clotting in sepsis, a life-threatening condition that causes about 8 million ...
