Abstract
Inflammation and thrombosis are intricate and closely interconnected biological processes that are not yet fully understood and lack effective targeted therapeutic approaches. Thrombosis initiated by inflammatory responses, known as immunothrombosis, can confer advantages to the host by constraining the spread of pathogens within the bloodstream. Conversely, platelets and the coagulation cascade can influence inflammatory responses through interactions with immune cells, endothelium, or complement system. These interactions can lead to a state of heightened inflammation resulting from thrombotic processes, termed as thromboinflammation. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the existing knowledge of thromboinflammation and addressing its significance as a challenging clinical issue.
期刊介绍:
Hämostaseologie is an interdisciplinary specialist journal on the complex topics of haemorrhages and thromboembolism and is aimed not only at haematologists, but also at a wide range of specialists from clinic and practice. The readership consequently includes both specialists for internal medicine as well as for surgical diseases.
