Thromboelastography identifies sex-related differences in coagulation

Thromboelastography is an in vitro, point-of-care monitor of whole blood coagulation. Thromboelastography studies have demonstrated a hypercoagulable state during pregnancy. Perhaps the hypercoagulability is attributable to female sex hormones. The aim of the study was to determine if sex, in additi...

Zusammenfassung:Thromboelastography is an in vitro, point-of-care monitor of whole blood coagulation. Thromboelastography studies have demonstrated a hypercoagulable state during pregnancy. Perhaps the hypercoagulability is attributable to female sex hormones. The aim of the study was to determine if sex, in addition to pregnancy, affected thromboelastography variables by studying male and female (pregnant and nonpregnant) volunteers. Thromboelastography showed significant (P:
