Hemostasis

Hemostasis is the process of arresting the bleed from the injured blood vessel. The hemostatic system of the body helps to arrest the bleeding irrelevant the injury may be minor, major or large scrape or a deep cut requiring stitches. It needs combined activity of vascular, platelet and plasma factors. Due to excessive bleeding or thrombosis it leads to hemostatic abnormalities. There are several regulatory mechanisms which include Inactivation of procoagulant enzymes, Fibrinolysis and Hepatic clearance of activated clotting factors. When the hemostatic system does not stop the bleeding, it may mean a person has a disorder of hemostasis, also known as a bleeding disorder.
