Thyroid dysfunction and the hemostatic system


Cite item

Full Text

Abstract

Whether there is a link between thyroid dysfunction and different impairments in the hemostatic system is discussed. The level of thyroid hormones is an essential factor that influences the coagulation system. Thyroid dysfunction affects the balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis, by increasing the risk of thrombosis and hemorrhage in hyperthyroidism. However, there is no consensus of opinion regarding the mechanisms of the described hemostatic changes in the literature.

Нарушения функции щитовидной железы и система гемостаза. - Аннотация. Обсуждается вопрос взаимосвязи дисфункции щитовидной железы (ЩЖ) и различных нарушений в системе гемостаза. Уровень тиреоидных гормонов - существенный фактор, влияющий на свертывающую систему крови. Дисфункция ЩЖ влияет на баланс между коагуляцией и фибринолизом, увеличивая риск развития тромбозов при гипертиреозе и кровотечений при гипотиреозе. Однако в литературе нет единого мнения о механизмах описанных гемостатических изменений.
