THE CHEMISTRY OF BLOOD CLOTTING

Dr Sanjay Sharma

Abstract :

 Hemostasis is mechanism to stop injured blood vessel from bleeding by formation of clot of the blood. Hemostasis involves Narrowing (constriction) of blood vessels,activity of platelets and activity of proteins to form clot. There is need for reverse of clotting when the purpose to stop bleeding has been accomplished. When clotting is poor, even a slight injury to a blood vessel may lead to severe blood loss. When clotting is excessive, small blood vessels in critical places can become clogged with clots. Blood clots in the ain can cause strokes, and clogged vessels of the heart can cause heart attacks. The blood supply to lungs is interrupted (pulmonary embolism) due to clots which travel from legs, pelvis or abdomen.
