Abstract excerpt

Haemostasis depends on an intricate relation among plasma coagulation and fibrinolytic factors, blood cells, vessel walls, extracellular matrix, blood viscosity, and blood flow. Hormonal systems, such as the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) act as a protector against acute fluid volume loss by indu...
