Changes of hemostatic homeostasis in Chernobyl wreckers

A controlled, retrospective trial of hemostatic homeostasis in Chernobyl wr eckers has established that the exposure to the Chernobyl hazards entailed emergence of a specific acquired thrombotic disease characterized by weak a ntithrombogenic properties of the vessel wall, intravascular activation of the thrombocytic, coagulatory and fibrinolytic components of the hemostatic system. The above disorders of the hemostatic homeostasis may contribute t o development of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, may accelerate a geing. Thus, there is a need for correction of hemostatic homeostasis disor ders in the Chernobyl wreckers to prevent relevant diseases.
