Objective:To investigate the relationship between abnormal coagulation indexes, incidence rate of venous
thromboembolism (VTE) and clinical stages of RCC patients and analyze the clinical features of RCC patients in hypercoagulable state.Methods:The coagulation index (Fib, D-D, BPC) of 355 RCC patients admitted from January 2010 to March 2012 in our hospital were
deteced and the incidence of VTE was analyzed.Results:In 355 RCC patients, Fib, D-D, and BPC were abnormally high, the incidence
rates of abnormally high Fib, D-D, and BPC levels were respectively 20.6%, 9.9%, and 6.6%. With the increase of stage, the incidence
rate of abnormal coagulation indexes also significantly increased (P<0.05). The incidence of VTE was 2.2%, which was 1.2% of patients
at Stage Ⅳ , and there was statistical difference between different stages (P<0.05). The incidence rates of hypercoagulability in RCC
patients with age ≥ 60 years, tumor size> 10 cm, advanced stage, distant metastasis metastases were significantly higher than those RCC
patients with aged <60 years, tumor size <1 0 cm, early stage and without distant metastasis(P<0.05).Conclusion:Age ≥ 60 years, tumor
size> 1 0 cm, advanced stage, and distant metastasis may be the risk factors which lead to hypercoagulability and VTE in RCC patients and
should be paid attention to. |
