the up-regulation of adhesion molecules…” (Hadi‚ Carr. & Suwaidi‚ 2005). As for hypercoagulability‚ it plays a big part in creating clots in the blood vessel. Coagulation is the process clots forming through the formation of platelets coming together (“Blood Clotting Disease”‚ n.d.). In this case‚ there is an excess amount of coagulation occurring leading to hypercoagulability creating excessive clots. With the accumulation of these factors‚ it can lead to diabetic arteriopathy.

introduced? Mackenzie Keesor (Fall Semester 2017-2018) Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to observe the differences in the formation of simulated blood clots when different amounts of sodium citrate‚ an anticoagulant‚ was added to the coagulation process‚ which would help gain information about the process that could potentially be used to create medications for different blood clotting disorders. Background Information The average adult human body consists of approximately 4.7 to 5.5

It primarily infects the lungs but sometimes‚ other organs are also infected through the blood stream and in this case‚ a patient is said to have disseminated histoplasmosis‚ and this form of infection may become fatal if left untreated.
