Abstract excerpt
Increased factor VIII (FVIII) levels are a prevalent and independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) has been associated with FVIII catabolism. After a median of 10 years of the first thrombotic episode, we evaluated FVIII activity levels in 75 patients with VTE and high FVIII levels and in 74 healthy controls. Subsequently, we evaluated...
