TAFI made stickier

Blood. 2012 Apr 12;119(15):3380-1. doi: 10.1182/blood-2012-02-406652.

Abstract

Bleeding in hemophilia is the result of factor VIII/IX deficiency with corresponding reduced thrombin production and enhanced fibrinolysis secondary to lower thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) production. Factor replacement is the cornerstone of hemophilia treatment but is often not possible in developing countries.
