Objective: To evaluate the activation of clotting systems in patients with sickle cell disease
(SCD) by measuring the plasma D‐dimer level and to determine the effect of low‐dose …

The fibrin D-dimer degradation fragment is produced by plasmin degradation of cross-linked
fibrin. Elevated plasma D-dimer levels indicate increased plasmin degradation of cross …

Background: The platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time

clinical abnormalities. Design: Prospective longitudinal study. Setting: Armed Forces …

Seventeen parameters of coagulation and fibrinolysis were measured in 33 patients with
sickle cell disease; 30 were tested in steady state (SS) and 19 in crisis (Cr). There were 16 …

Thirty-three subjects with sickle cell disease (SCD), 11 during episodes of pain and 22
during periods without pain, were evaluated for in vivo thrombogenic activities as compared …
