Coagulation activation marker

Coagulation activation markers are biomarkers of net activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis.[1][2] Examples include prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2), thrombin–antithrombin complex (TAT), fibrinopeptide A (FpA), fibrin monomers (FMs), plasmin-α2-antiplasmin complex (PAP), activated protein C–protein C inhibitor (APC-PCI), and D-dimer (DD).[1][2] These compounds are markers of thrombin generation (F1+2, TAT, APC-PCI), fibrin generation (FpA, FMs), and fibrinolysis (DD, PAP).[1][2] Coagulation activation markers, particularly D-dimer, are useful in the diagnosis of acute venous thromboembolism.[1][3] They may also be useful in the assessment of hypercoagulability and venous thromboembolism risk.[4][5][6]

Levels of coagulation activation markers are increased with pregnancy,[7] with estrogen-containing birth control pills,[8] with menopausal hormone therapy,[9][6] and with high-dose parenteral estradiol therapy for prostate cancer.[10][11][12] Transdermal estradiol appears to have less influence on coagulation activation markers than oral estrogens in menopausal hormone therapy.[9] Birth control pills containing estradiol or estetrol also appear to have less influence on coagulation activation markers than ethinylestradiol-containing birth control pills.[8]

Markers of platelet activation (primary hemostasis) include platelet factor 4 (PF4), β-thromboglobulin (β-TG), and P-selectin.[13][14]
