Hyperthyroidism is associated with increased thrombotic risk through mechanisms that are not fully understood. In contrast, a tendency to bleeding has been reported in hypothyroidism. Fibrin network structure has been shown to determine susceptibility to atherothrombosis and venous thrombotic events and therefore, this study investigates the effects of thyroid-dysfunction on clot structure and fibrinolysis using longitudinal interventional studies.Sevent...
