Coagulation profile in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

M
yeloproliferative diseases are a heterogenous group of
disorders characterized by cellular proliferation of one
or more hematologic cell lines in the peripheral blood. The
clinical course of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) being
frequently complicated by thrombotic events. The main
objective is to evaluate the coagulation profile in patients
with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms. The methods included
a total of 55 patients of myeloproliferative neoplasms
(Chronic Myeloid leukemia, Polycythemia Vera, Essential
thrombocytosis and Primary Myelofibrosis) were studied
over 1-year period. Coagulation profile was recorded.
D-dimer was measured by Latex kit 60X, Prothrombin time,
and Activated partial thromboplastin time with KC4 Amelung
coagulometer, which resulted 55 cases of myeloproliferative
neoplasms Prothrombin time was elevated in 43.64%(n=24)
cases, activated partial thromboplastin in 32.73%(n=18) and
20%(n=11) in D-Dimer and concluded the coagulation profile
is found to be elevated in patients with Myeloproliferative
Neoplasms which is comparable with other international
studies.
