METHOD FOR DETECTING, TREATING, AND MONITORING CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ACTIVATION OF THE COAGULATION RESPONSE

摘要

Methods for diagnosing, treating and monitoring conditions associated with activation of the coagulation response in patients suffering from conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and cardiovascular disease are disclosed. Diagnostic assays utilized in the methods include measurement of blood levels of fibrinogen, prothrombin fragment 1 + 2, thrombin/antithrombin complexes and soluble fibrin monomers. Treatment regimens include anticoagulant therapies comprising administering warfarin or heparin as needed.
