Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Physiology
  • Medical Science

Background:

  • Acute insults to the hemostatic system pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • Effective management requires identifying involved hemostatic compartments and understanding complex enzyme/inhibitor interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a logical review of the basic mechanisms of hemostasis.
  • To focus on key elements of the biochemistry and physiology of hemostasis.

Main Methods:

  • Focused review of current concepts in hemostasis.
  • Emphasis on vessel wall, platelet, and plasma factor physiology and biochemistry.
  • Detailed examination of plasma proteins, biocybernetic principles, and interrelationships of enzyme systems.

Main Results:

  • Key elements of hemostasis biochemistry and physiology are presented.
  • Biocybernetic principles and interrelationships of enzyme systems (coagulation, fibrinolysis, kinin, complement) are highlighted.

Conclusions:

  • A working knowledge of basic hemostasis mechanisms aids in diagnosis and therapy.
  • Understanding fundamental principles provides a foundation for developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
