  2. Hypercoagulability in pregnancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercoagulability_in...

    The main issue with anticoagulation in pregnancy is that warfarin, the most commonly used anticoagulant in chronic administration, is known to have teratogenic effects on the fetus if administered in early pregnancy. [11] [12] Still, there seems to be no teratogenic effect of warfarin before six weeks of gestation. [13]

  3. Thrombophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombophilia

    Thrombophilia testing after venous thromboembolism(VTE) provoked by surgery, on the other hand, is not recommended, because the risk of recurrence is low. Some experts argue that unprovoked VTE requires indefinite (lifelong) anticoagulation and therefore performing thrombophilia testing will not affect management. Nearly all recommendations in ...

  4. Thromboembolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboembolism

    The mainstay of VTE management is anticoagulation therapy, which prevents thrombus propagation and embolization. Such treatment reduces the risk of recurrence. [ 5 ] [ 4 ] [ 1 ] The choice and duration of anticoagulation depend on the individual patient's risk factors, bleeding risk, and preferences.

  5. Activated clotting time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_clotting_time

    Activated clotting time (ACT), also known as activated coagulation time, is a test of coagulation. [1] [2]The ACT test can be used to monitor anticoagulation effects, such as from high-dose heparin before, during, and shortly after procedures that require intense anticoagulant administration, such as cardiac bypass, interventional cardiology, thrombolysis, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation ...

    The tests also include MRI, ultrasound and X-ray test, which give better information about the joint inflammation. [7] Although MRI is superior method for this assessment, the US using the HEAD-US method performed by paediatric radiologists is a reliable tool for detection and quantification of haemophilic arthropathy in children in comparison ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_study

    Fresh normal plasma has all the blood coagulation factors with normal levels. If the problem is a simple factor deficiency, mixing the patient plasma 1:1 with plasma that contains 100% of the normal factor level results in a level ≥50% in the mixture (say the patient has an activity of 0%; the average of 100% + 0% = 50%). [3]

  9. Prothrombin complex concentrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prothrombin_complex...

    For rapid anticoagulation reversal for surgery, four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate reduces international normalized ratio (INR) and decreases bleeding during surgery when compared with administration of fresh frozen plasma. No differences in thromboembolic event was found.
