Coagulation factors, anticoagulant proteins, and plasminogen in Mexican older adults

Abstract

Significant differences were found, so it is recommended to establish reference values (RV) for the activity of fibrinogen and FX by decade and gender, FVII and FXII by gender, FII, FV, FVIII, PC, PS, and Plg by decade, whereas for FIX, FXI, and AT, they are not modified by age or gender, so the RV described for adult Mexican population can be used. It is important to integrate these results into established diagnostic algorithms, which can be taken into account to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment for patients with suspected hemorrhagic or thrombotic processes, as well as suggest those habits that improve their quality of life, to maintain optimal health and prevent thrombotic and hemorrhagic events.

“…However, when these parameters were evaluated with our SRV, significantly higher means were evident for the FV, FVIII, and FIX. 16,17 According to the logistic regression model using the Wald method, the variables selected with statistical significance (P < .05) were the PT and FIX; so the resulting logistic function was:…”

“…Therefore, the reference values (RV) must be calculated for each specific population and clinical laboratory. 16,17 Both active and passive (environmental) cigarette smoke exposure predisposes to cardiovascular events, since smoking increases fibrinogen levels, platelet counts, and prothrombin activity, and reduces PT. On the other hand, smoke influences all phases of atherosclerosis from endothelial dysfunction to acute clinical events, the latter being largely thrombotic.…”
