so today's webinar is from the ISTH on coagulopathy in #COVID19

A very elevated d-dimer is seen in non-survivors from chinese data

#covid19

Like DIC but not quite
a microangiopathy?
#covid19

#COVID19 is a prothrombotic state and hence predisposes them to PE/DVT

We noticed this due to losing haemofilters at a really high rate.

Anticoagulant treatment is associated with decreased mortality in severe coronavirus disease 2019 patients with coagulopathy

Conclusion from Dr Levi #COVID19 and coagulopathy

Hard evidence on what to do is lacking.. #COVID19

Tentative conclusion from Prof Hunt - this is not a primary thrombotic disease but is secondary to inflammation and hypoxia.

Why a rise in D-dimer in #covid19 ? @bhwords

Does a pre-existing inflammatory state make #COVID19 pneumonia more likely? @bhwords
