Antithrombin replacement therapy

Antithrombin replacement therapy is a medical treatment used to increase levels of antithrombin, a protein in the blood that helps prevent excessive clotting. People with low antithrombin levels may be at risk for blood clots, leading to complications like thrombosis. This therapy involves administering antithrombin, often derived from human plasma, to boost its levels and restore normal clotting balance. It's commonly used during surgeries or in patients with conditions that decrease antithrombin, helping to reduce the risk of serious clotting events and improve overall safety during medical care.
