Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Promote Hypercoagulability in Patients With Sepsis

Background: Patients with sepsis commonly exhibit a hypercoagulability with high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are found to trigger inflammation and coagulation. We aim to determine whether NETs promoted the hypercoagulability and early anticoagulation reduced NETs releasing during sepsis. Methods: In this prospective study, septic patients between September 2013 and June 2015 were included. Patients...
