Endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitors in sickle cell disease: abnormal levels and correlations with pulmonary hypertension, desaturation, haemolysis, organ dysfunction and death.

abstract：:Thrombosis occurs in 37% of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and is related to an L-asparaginase-induced acquired antithrombin (AT) deficiency. The incidence dictates the need for anticoagulant prophylaxis. Direct thrombin inhibitors (DTI) are independent of AT for effect and may thus have advantages ...
