Experiences with

Thrombosis

Arterial thrombosis (93.8%) predominated. Median overall survival was 103.6 months (95% CI 68.8–138.4). Median thrombosis-free survival was 86 months (95% CI 68.4–103.6).

Having scope on Monday and we were told today that he has portal vein thrombosis. I understand what that is but I’m confused after doing some research as to the difference between portal vein thrombosis and portal vein hypertension? Or are they the same thing? thank you

I thought they would have gone much more by now but he is also on blood thinners because he has portal vein thrombosis. Do the blood thinners keep platelets low? Or does it take a very long time, if ever, for platelets to go back up? Thanks

Has anyone heard recently of medics raising the danger of taking otcs regularly when on Anticoagulants, sometimes causing death from Pulmonary Embolisms or Deep Vein Thrombosis?

And it may heighten the risk of thrombosis, though more studies are needed. I take apixaban because of my risk(and fear) of stroke due to AF/AFIB. We don't need the risk of another chemical with potential ability to clot blood.

good morning, just to let use know I had my liver scan and got results early, so was told am now compensated from decompensated which is great and apperently have been for months because am not yellow and ascites have gone 🤷‍♀️ meld score down to 12, so all is good news, am done with google I honestly

I am CHR, with no prior thrombosis. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

My consultant basically said not much changes <60 unless you have a thrombosis event (which doesn't sound ideal, eg. wait for something to go wrong before doing anything?) . What is a thrombosis event? e.g. can you have minor? thrombosis events or is it just always really bad?

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this weird symptom! For almost 10 years now I have had pain in my outer calf about two inches up from my ankle on both sides. It comes on with the slightest exertion but is not there all the time. The achy pain builds and builds until I feel like

In your experience, which of the two poses less risk in terms of heart issues, thrombosis, infection, etc. ? Thanks Xx

I just received several posts that the latest research from Cleveland Clinic and Thrombosis Journal suggests artificial sweeteners ie Stevia causes blot clots. I still remember being advised no to Equal and yes to Stevia. But, I guess, the old adage of all things in moderation?

Conclusion « The knowledge of the JAK2V617F mutation in relation to PV has allowed both physicians and patients to understand that risk is not inherently based on blood counts alone but also due to the effects of JAK2V617F VAF on thrombosis and disease progression.

I was diagnosed with essential thrombosis in 2019. I had a bloody Marrow biopsy. And came back positive for the Jack2 mutation.

Hi again. Yesterday I asked my GP if I could have my blood immunoglobulin levels checked as I like to keep a handle on those parameters which can indicate the status of my immune system. To be honest, I thought this would be done without question and routinely. However, my doc prefers that my CLL haematologist

Moreover, xylitol both enhanced platelet reactivity and thrombosis potential in vivo. Further studies examining the cardiovascular safety of xylitol are warranted.

Results: The cumulative incidence of thrombosis after 7 years of HU-R/I was 21.4%, and the incidence of disease progression was 22.5%.

In collaboration with leading UK VTE specialist, Thrombosis UK are seeking to support the development of a grant application looking at blood clots occurring in individuals who have had an admission to a psychiatric hospital.

[/i] [i]A univariate analysis of patients with vs without progression demonstrated that significant covariates associated with progression included disease duration, history of thrombosis, white blood cell count, hematocrit level, and variant allele frequency.

Also, does anyone know if there's any danger of developing thrombosis from B12 overload, please? I've had a pain in my calf and haven't injected for two days as this worried me a bit - I'm wondering whether to recommence or hang fire for a day or so. Feeling very much in limbo at the moment!

I have been taking Warfarin for 16 years having 2 venous thrombosis, diagnosed by Dr.Kamashta in Professor Hughes Clinic, APS of course. Perhaps some other patients have haemotology appointments and have heard of this new drug?
