Haemostatic parameters in patients with primitive venous hypertension

In twenty patients with primitive venous hypertension and in ten healthy subjects we have determined the plasmatic levels of: Thrombomodulin (TM), beta-Thromboglobulin (beta-TG), D-Dimer (DD), the tissue activator of the plasminogen (t-PA) and the inhibitor of the activator of the plasminogen (PAI-I), The levels of the parameter we studied have shown in the patients a significant difference of beta-TG (p<0.01) and PAI-1 (p<0.01) compared to the controls, whereas there was no significant difference in the other parameters we studied. Our data underline, in patients with primitive venous hypertension, the importance that the activation of the platelets and the reduction of the potential fibrinolytic can assume, together with the stasis, regarding the onset of thrombotic complications.
