Zusammenfassung: | A method for detecting, treating, and monitoring conditions associated with activation of the coagulation response, such as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, by evaluating the status of the coagulation response in a patient by using a novel combination of tests which can detect minimal activation of the coagulation response in a patient. The novel combination includes tests for determining levels of fibrinogen, prothrombin fragment 1 + 2, thrombin/antithrombin complexes, soluble fibrin monomer, and platelet activation by flow cytometry. These assays are highly sensitive to minimal deviation from normal. Deviation from the normal values in any two of the fi ve assays permits diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or other disease associated with activation of the coagulation response. |
