Abstract:
The surgical interventions in patients with malignant tumors of liver cause a development of various forms of syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) with significant increasing of concentration of markers of intravascular blood coagulation against the background of dramatic decreasing of activity of factors of prothrombin complex, level of natural anti-coagulants and components of fibrinolytic system. The thrombosis of veins of various localization developed in 12 patients with subacute form of DIC. The application of low-molecular heparin in combination with concentrate of anti-thrombin III and freshly frozen plasma decreases intensity of intra-vascular blood coagulation and results in reduction of factors of coagulation and is an efficient and adequate method of treatment of thrombosis and thromboembolism of pulmonary artery in oncologic patients. The significant increasing of level of D-dimer, von Willebrand factor against the background of dramatic decreasing of prothrombin activity, content of antithrombin III and level of plasminogen are hemostasiologic factors of development of severe liver insufficiency. The corresponding timely diagnostic and correction permits to ameliorate results of surgical treatment of patients with malignant tumors of liver.

Thromboembolic Disorders
Two factors primarily cause thromboembolic conditions.
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,...

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...
