Coagulation Disorders

What causes Coagulation Disorders?

Coagulation disorders can be induced by a variety of reasons, such as:

• Genetic Factors: Some people are born with genetic coagulation diseases including haemophilia, von Willebrand disease, or uncommon clotting factor deficits.
• Acquired Factors: Certain medical problems, such as liver illness, renal disease, and autoimmune disorders, might interfere with the body's normal clotting mechanism. Furthermore, long-term usage of some drugs, such as blood thinners, might result in coagulation abnormalities

How do we diagnose you?

Our diagnosis procedure for coagulation disorders at Surya Hospitals entails a battery of tests to give us a thorough grasp of your blood clotting processes

These tests are carefully chosen to ensure a customized approach based on your medical history, symptoms, and preliminary assessments.

• Complete Blood Count (CBC)
• Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR)
• Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT)
• Fibrinogen Test
• Platelet Function Tests
• Genetic Testing
• D-dimer Test

Treatment

At Surya, we provide specialized care for coagulation disorders in our Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. Among the treatment options available are:

• Medication: Depending on the disease, drugs such as clotting factor concentrates, desmopressin, or antifibrinolytics may be recommended to improve blood clotting or avoid excessive clot disintegration.
• Replacement Therapy: Replacement therapy can be used to replace missing clotting factors in patients with severe clotting factor deficits.
• Supportive Care: We provide patients and their families with extensive assistance and information to help them manage their disease and avoid complications.
• Surgical Interventions: To address bleeding difficulties or prevent joint injury, surgical interventions such as port installation or joint surgery may be required in rare situations.
