Enfermedad de von Willebrand como manifestación clínica inhabitual del hipotiroidismo primario: Caso clínico
Patients with hypothyroidism may have a minor increase in their bleeding tendency, causing easy bruising and menorrhagia. There is a positive correlation between factor VIII coagulant activity and thyroxin serum levels. Thus, patients with hypothyroidism have an acquired coagulation defect that is r...
