Change of coagulation function in patients with high altitude polycythemia / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate changes of coagulation function in patients with high altitude polycythemia (HAPC) .Meth‐ods Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ,prothrombin time (PT) ,thrombin time (TT) and fibrinogen (Fbg) were de‐tected and compared between 69 patients with HAPC and 60 healthy subjects (controls) .Results Fbg ,APTT and TT levels in pa‐tients with HAPC were higher than controls (P0 .05) .Dynamic obser‐vation indicated that comprehensive therapy could these recover coagulation function .Conclusion Hemorrhage and coagulation process in patients with HAPC could be very complicated ,including physiological adaptation and the process of physiology evolving into pathology .
