Insights
Accumulation of functionally inactive prothrombin forms (FIPF) signals early blood coagulation activation and potential thrombosis in hemodialysis patients. Soluble fibrin (sF) levels correlate with pre-thrombosis and post-thrombosis factors, indicating impaired anticoagulation.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Hematology
- Thrombosis Research
Background:
- Patients with very dangerous (VD) stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis are at increased risk for thrombophilia.
- Assessing hemostasis status in these patients is crucial for preventing thrombotic events.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the informative value of pre-thrombosis, post-thrombosis, and anticoagulation factors.
- To analyze correlations between these factors for a comprehensive assessment of hemostasis in stage VD CKD patients.
Main Methods:
- Studied 88 patients with stage VD CKD on long-term hemodialysis.
- Analyzed relationships between molecular markers of hemostasis, including soluble fibrin (sF), D-dimer (D-d), and functionally inactive prothrombin forms (FIPF).
Main Results:
- Accumulation of sF correlated with D-d (r = 0.39) and FIPF (r = -0.24).
- High sF with FIPF accumulation indicates significant pre-thrombin activation.
- Lack of strong correlation between pre- and post-thrombosis indices suggests preserved anticoagulant capacity.
Conclusions:
- FIPF accumulation is an early marker for coagulation activation and potential thrombosis.
- sF levels correlate with pre- and post-thrombosis factors, linked to inhibited anticoagulation.
- Comprehensive hemostasis assessment aids in developing prophylactic strategies against thrombophilia in stage VD CKD.
Objective:
The aim: To determine informative value of pre-thrombosis, post-thrombosis and anticoagulation factors as well as their correlations for assessment of hemostasis status in patients with stage VD CKD.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: Potential predictors of thrombophilia development as well as their relationships depending on the level of molecular markers of hemostasis were studied in 88 patients with stage VD CKD undergoing long-term hemodialysis with the view to determine their informative value.
Results:
Results: Accumulation of soluble fibrin (sF) was demonstrated to cause moderate reaction of D-dimer (D-d) being insufficient in the absence of reaction of anticoagulant component of hemostasis. Soluble fibrin levels were found to be associated with D-d concentration (r = 0.39) and functionally inactive prothrombin forms (FIPF) to some extent (r = -0.24). Accumulation of FIPF in individuals with high level of sF implies significant activation of blood coagulation system at the stage prior to thrombin formation. Absence of close relationship between pre- and post-thrombosis indices may be indicative of still preserved potential of anticoagulant component of hemostasis.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: Accumulation of FIPF is an early marker of activation of blood coagulation and possible thrombosis. Levels of sF correlate with pre-thrombosis (fibrinogen, FIPF) and post-thrombosis (D-d) factors being associated with inhibition of anticoagulation processes. Comprehensive study of basic components of hemostasis in patients with VD stage of chronic kidney disease offer broader opportunities in arranging prophylactic measures to prevent thrombophilia.
