If there is a problem with clotting what plasma protein may be involved?
If there is a problem with clotting, the plasma protein that may be involved is fibrinogen. Fibrinogen is a key component of the coagulation cascade, converting to fibrin to form a stable clot. Deficiencies or abnormalities in fibrinogen can lead to bleeding disorders. Other clotting factors, such as prothrombin or factor VIII, may also be implicated in clotting issues.
What changes are seen in clotting time in purpura and hemophilia?
In purpura, which involves bleeding due to vascular abnormalities or platelet issues, the clotting time may remain normal since the primary problem is not with the clotting factors. In hemophilia, a genetic disorder characterized by deficiencies in specific clotting factors (most commonly Factor VIII or IX), the clotting time is prolonged, particularly in tests like the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). This indicates a delayed clotting ability, leading to increased bleeding tendencies.
What are platelets and what do they have to with heart problem?
Platelets are a component of blood which are involved in blood clotting which stops bleeding and stops infection. However, if clotting occurs during the normal circulation of the blood, the clot might lodge in some blood vessel, cutting of the blood supply to vital organs, such as the heart.
What is the function of a thrombocyte?
Platelets (thrombocytes) are the smallest type of blood cell. They are important in blood clotting. When bleeding occurs, the platelets swell, clump together, and form a sticky plug that helps stop the bleeding. If there are too few platelets, uncontrolled bleeding may be a problem. If there are too many platelets, there is a chance of a blood clot forming in a blood vessel. Also, platelets may be involved in hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
What do thrombocyctes do?
Platelets (thrombocytes) are the smallest type of blood cell. They are important in blood clotting. When bleeding occurs, the platelets swell, clump together, and form a sticky plug that helps stop the bleeding. If there are too few platelets, uncontrolled bleeding may be a problem. If there are too many platelets, there is a chance of a blood clot forming in a blood vessel. Also, platelets may be involved in hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
What caused the ecchymosis?
Possible blood clotting problem??
How hemophilia affect the body?
Your blood. A hemophiliac is a person who is a "free bleeder", meaning if they get even a minor cut, they will bleed profusely. If they get just a little more than a small cut, they can actually bleed to death because their blood does not clot the way it should.
I take asririn to thin my blood because of a clotting problem can Chamomile tea and aspirin thin my blood too much and cause bleeding?
you need to consult a doctor because you don't know how much to take. or you may need to be put on blood thinners.
Do you bleed at all when you're pregnant?
Bleeding during pregnancy usually indicates that there is some kind of problem. You should see your doctor.
What is a plasma fibrinogen assay?
This is a test that evaluates the level of fibrinogen in the blood. Fibrinogen is one of the major proteins in the blood involved in clotting. Elevated levels can indicate a systemic inflammatory problem, while low levels may indicate poor clotting or liver failure.
Has anyone had an abnormally shaped amniotic sac with blood pooling outside it?
I personally have not known anyone to have this problem.
What is the most common problem resulting from Meckel's diverticulum?
The most common problem is inflammation or infection that mimics appendicitis.
