Elevation of plasma tissue factor levels in patients with severe acute pancreatitis
2006
Background
Coagulative disorders are known to occur in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and they are related to its severity and organ dysfunctions. Tissue factor (TF) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that activates the extrinsic pathway of the blood coagulation cascade. Plasma TF levels increase in patients with sepsis and acute coronary syndrome. However, plasma TF levels in SAP have not yet been reported.
