ABSTRACT
Hemostasis is the mechanism that maintains the balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis processes to physiologically repair vascular damage events. Primary hemostasis is generated by platelets through the phases of adhesion, aggregation and a phase of platelet content release and secondary hemostasis corresponds to the blood coagulation phase in which the coagulation factors participate and are activated. The activation of blood coagulation is given by an intrinsic and extrinsic pathway, and integratively studied its activation as the cellular model of coagulation that is constituted by the following stages, 1) initiation, 2) amplification, 3) propagation and, 4) clot stabilization. In this cellular model it is emphasized that the sequential activation of coagulation factors occurs on a cell surface where the fibrin network and the clot are formed. Thrombophilia is a clinical condition that conditions a thrombotic tendency which may be due to the presence of inherited factors or acquired factors, and one of the biomarkers of coagulation activation screening present in a thrombophilic state is D-dimer.
