Connection between hypercoagulation and thyroid

[drob31]

Relationship between thyroid hormones and fibrinogen levels.

We previously reported in a large population that plasma D-dimers and free thyroxine (FT4) levels were inversely correlated. Since D-dimers are also associated with fibrinogen levels, we analysed the relationship between fibrinogen and FT4 levels.

In conclusion, we found a negative and independent relationship between fibrinogen and FT4. These results are consistent with our previous findings of a tendency to a more coagulable state in patients with normal-low FT4 levels compared with those with normal-high FT4 levels.

Low serum thyrotropin is associated with high plasma fibrinogen.

CONCLUSIONS:
Thyroid function is associated with plasma fibrinogen. Decreased serum TSH is an independent risk factor for elevated plasma fibrinogen levels as a possible explanation for the high cardiovascular mortality among affected subjects.

It seems that hypercoagulation has a big impact on your thyroid. From a CFS perspective, it is known that thyroid issues are commonplace. I wonder if many of the symptoms could be attributed to this?

In case your wondering a natural way to address this, fibrinolytic enzymes like serrapeptase, nattokinase, and lumbrokinase can help breakdown and dissolve excess fibrin. In particular, lumbrokinase seems to be the most effective.

David berg looked at my ISAc panels ....said I had a ton of fibrinogen if I recall correctly....not hypercoag per se though

Have you tried anything to lower your fibrinogen? Lumbrokinase is very powerful for this.

Also, antiphospholipid antibodies can cause high fibrinogen.

Taken lumbrokinase nattokinase off & on...didn't notice any difference.....maybe too many other things going on

Yeah, I know it should be decently high dose on an empty stomach at least 2-3x a day, for a few months.

I am almost to the point I can't swallow this crap any more ... Tooooooo many pills!!

Yeah, I know, it seems like a never ending trial of supplements.

I was sad to hear David Berg retired. What did he say the difference between hypercoag and fibrinogen were? I though they were the same.

 

[aquariusgirl]

he didn't explain.. but the treatments are different ...heparin vs. enzymes.. i think

 

[aquariusgirl]

is he retired from consulting with arizona consultants
?

He also looked at my ISAC test. It tests 4 different aspects of hypercoag as those likely to be found in ME/CFS patients. I "qualified" and did 7 months of low dose, low molecular weight heparin injections followed by regular nattokinase. This helped my general condition though I was not, at that time, at the disabled level.

Do you know if there is anyone left who can interpret this panel? I just had it run a few weeks ago, still waiting for the results.

A knowledgeable doctor--though I don't know who that would be. My doctor worked with Dr. Berg to interpret it for me.
