Thrombotic and bleeding disorders affect at least 10 million people
in the US alone. There has also been a great deal of concern over
travel-related deep vein thrombosis and therefore much more
interest and research into the field of blood clotting. This new
and concise practical guide will cover all the essentials one needs
to know when managing thrombotic and bleeding disorders. The field
of haematology is undergoing major advances in thrombosis research,
including significant additions to recommended treatment protocols.
The Essential Guide to Coagulation will distil the most clinically,
up-to-date and relevant material from the literature for all those
working in the field.Faced with a bleeding patient, it may be
difficult to discern whether blood loss is due to a local factor or
secondary to an underlying haemostatic defect. There are a range of
simple and specialized laboratory texts which can be performed to
further define the cause of bleeding in a patient. Since the first
edition there have been many developments in the field including
many new anticoagulant drugs. These new classes of direct thrombin
inhibitors slow the coagulation cascade by directly binding to
thrombin, a clotting factor essential in the clotting process. If
thrombin is blocked, clot formation is delayed. A key component of
this guide will be the latest treatment strategies available for
patients.
