Prolonged coagulation time may increase the risk of bleeding, and it is necessary to deal with it from the aspects of finding out the cause, daily attention, medical intervention, etc.:
1-Identify the cause
(1) Detailed examination: Prolonged coagulation time may be caused by many reasons, and a comprehensive examination is needed to identify the cause. Common examinations include routine blood tests, a full set of coagulation function tests, platelet function tests, and vascular wall function tests to determine whether it is abnormal platelet count or function, coagulation factor deficiency, vascular wall abnormalities, or other blood system diseases or systemic diseases.
(2) Medical history review: The doctor will also ask the patient's medical history in detail, including whether there is a family history of genetic diseases (such as hereditary coagulation factor deficiency such as hemophilia), whether he has taken drugs that affect coagulation recently (such as anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, etc.), whether he has liver disease, autoimmune diseases, etc., because these factors may lead to prolonged coagulation time.
2-Daily precautions
(1) Avoid injury: Due to the long coagulation time, once injured, the risk of bleeding and the duration of bleeding will increase. Therefore, in daily life, special attention should be paid to safety, and vigorous exercise and activities that may cause physical injury, such as participating in competitive sports and engaging in high-risk physical labor. In daily activities, caution should also be exercised to prevent accidents such as collisions and falls.
(2) Choose a suitable diet: A balanced diet, eating more foods rich in vitamin K, such as green leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli, etc.), beans, animal liver, etc., can help promote blood coagulation. At the same time, avoid eating too much food with anticoagulant effects, such as garlic, onions, fish oil, etc.
3-Medical intervention
(1) Treatment of primary diseases: Targeted treatment is carried out according to the specific cause. For example, coagulation abnormalities caused by vitamin K deficiency can be corrected by supplementing vitamin K; coagulation factor synthesis disorders caused by liver disease require active treatment of liver disease and improvement of liver function; if it is a hereditary coagulation factor deficiency, regular infusion of the corresponding coagulation factor may be required for replacement therapy.
(2) Drug treatment: For patients whose coagulation time is too long due to taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs, after evaluation by a doctor, it may be necessary to adjust the drug dosage or change the drug. In some emergency situations, such as severe bleeding or the need for surgery, procoagulant drugs such as tranexamic acid and sulfonamide may be used to promote blood coagulation and reduce bleeding.
If the coagulation time is too long, you should seek medical attention in time, follow the doctor's advice for relevant examinations and treatment, and regularly review the coagulation function so that the treatment plan can be adjusted in time.
