Hemostasis in renal disease: pathophysiology and management.
The hemostatic abnormalities commonly encountered in patients with renal disease can significantly threaten the well-being of the patient and pose difficult management issues for the clinician. In this review, we explore the pathophysiology underlying the bleeding diathesis and hypercoagulability that can occur. Current therapeutic interventions are also discussed.
