Coagulation factors are also proteins, mostly made by the liver.
When people go into liver failure, they often may bleed to death, because their coagulation factors are impaired.
It is all pretty complicated. But I believe coagulation is different, and separate in cause from the immune factor globulins. So suppressing coagulation would not affect elevated immune globulin contributions. |
You're right. I should have known better. Anticoagulants do NOT actually change the viscosity, but rather alter (decrease) certain proteins to prevent clotting. So it would likely have no effective in this setting.
I still can't figure how the laser treatment could ever be complete/stopped based upon the short action of nitric oxide...if I read Glenn's post right. Any thought's on this?
