Abstract:
Lipedema is a widespread in concern of etiology partially unknown disease especially in women. In many cases it is accompanied by bleeding complications. Our current work focuses on possible coagulation disorders as potential sources of such bleeding complications. Since only a minority of our patients showed a coagulation defect it is suggestive that the main underlying reason for bleeding in lipedema is of cutaneous origin what may only be forwarded by simultaneously existing coagulation disorders.

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...

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
