[Pathogenetic characteristics of hemostatic disorders in chronic renal failure]
Abstract:
As many as 45 patients with terminal chronic renal failure (CRF) admitted to the hospital were examined for hemocoagulation and blood plasma content of medium-sized molecules (MSM). Animal (rabbit) experiments were made in vitro and in vivo to study the effect produced on hemocoagulation of MSM isolated from CFR patients' blood by acidic deproteinization, ultrafiltration and gel chromatography. Integrally, the MSM fraction was shown to exert marked anticoagulant and antiaggregation effects, to increase vascular permeability, promoting the development of hemorrhagic diathesis in CRF patients. Hemodialysis (HD) is an effective method for treating hemorrhagic diathesis of the given genesis. At the same time under the conditions of the presence of the cellular template (red blood cell hemolysis, platelet destruction as a result of HD) MSM may give rise to the development of thrombotic complications after HD completion and heparin neutralization. Therefore accumulation of MSM may play an important part in the onset of hemocoagulation disorders in patients with CRF.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
