Question:

What is the hemodynamic factor in thrombosis?

Author: H K



Answer:

In normal laminar blood flow, platelets (and other blood cells) are mostly found in the center of the vessel's lumen, separated from the endothelium by a slower-moving layer of plasma. main causes (veins [varicose/prolonged immobilization], arteries [aneurysm/hypotension]) Deleterious effects (endothelial cell activation stimulate procoagulant activity, stasis gets platelets and leukocytes to come into contact w/endothelia, slows clearance of clotting factors and hinders influx of clotting factor inhibitors, endothelial hypoxia)
