[GENDER DIFFERENCES OF THE HEMOSTASIS POSTAGRESSIVE EARLY RESPONSE IN ACUTE NECROTIZING PANCREATITIS]
Abstract:
The study was performed in a group of 25 patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (mean age 46.2 ± 6.74 years). Gender differences of the hemostasis postagressive early response in the early stages of the disease were identified by comparing the procoagulant , anticoagulant and fibrinolytic blood activity of men and women suffering from pancreatitis. Compared to men, women showed higher concentrations of fibrinogen, D-dimer and VWF and smaller values marked trombokrit , antithrombin III, inhibitor of plasmin and protein C (p < 0.05). These results suggest a greater tendency to thrombi formation in women with acute pancreatitis; We believe that gender differences should be the subject of further research.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized,...
Vascular Spasm
Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
