摘要: Victims of high-altitude pulmonary edema often have clots obstructing the vessels. This, together with an apparent high incidence thrombophlebitis and cerebral emboli at altitude suggests that mountain travel may predispose to hypercoagulability. A critical analysis available data that, although thrombosis be a late event complicating various forms sickness, laboratory techniques characterizing hypercoagulability are not sufficient define characterize mechanism.
