Hypercoagulability State in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract: SummarySince there is some clinical evidence that the clinical course of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may be complicated by thrombosis in the pulmonary vessels, we studied whether a hypercoagulability state (HS) does occur in COPD. Plasma levels of prothrombin F1+2 fragment, a marker of thrombin generation, D-dimer, a marker of in vivo thrombin and plasmin activation, and fibrinogen were measured in 37 COPD patients and in 30 controls matched for sex and age. COPD patients had sig… Show more
