Study Notes
Hemophilia Treatment
- Hemophilia is primarily treated with replacement therapy, which involves infusing the missing clotting factor into the bloodstream.
Hemostasis Abnormality
- The most common abnormality of hemostasis is bleeding disorders, which can be caused by deficiencies in clotting factors, platelet dysfunction, or blood vessel defects.
Venous Thrombosis Triggers
- Venous thrombosis can be triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including injury, surgery, immobility, cancer, and inherited thrombophilias.
Intravascular Clot Term
- An intravascular clot that floats in the blood is termed an embolus.
