Molecular markers of hemostatic activation. Implications in the diagnosis of thrombosis, vascular, and cardiovascular disorders.
Until recently, the diagnosis of thromboembolic disorders remained difficult to establish before the occurrence of a pathologic event. Clearly, thrombosis is the result of a progressive alteration of the blood and vasculature. Various molecular markers of hemostatic alteration are found in increased or decreased amounts predisposing to thrombosis or in increased circulating amounts during the activation process.
