Thrombosis associated with HIF-PH inhibitor therapy has become a major concern. While elevated transferrin (Tf) levels were previously thought to be the cause, recent findings suggest that Tf may actually inhibit thrombus formation. I propose a new hypothesis based on my own theory.

Platelet-activating antibodies against platelet factor 4 (PF4) cause highly prothrombotic disorders with reduced platelet counts. In heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), these antibodies bind PF4–heparin complexes, causing heparin-dependent platelet activation. Less common autoimmune and spontaneous HIT variants that are triggered by heparin and nonpharmacologic polyanions, respectively, have …

PurposeTo observe the efficacy and adverse reactions of eltrombopag combined with rhTPO in the treatment of lymphoma patients with chemotherapy - induced thrombocytopenia (CIT).MethodsA retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of 61 patients using eltrombopag (75 mg once a day), 99 patients using rhTPO (15,000 U once daily), and 50 patients using eltrombopag (75 mg once a day) combi…

Nature Communications, Published online: 25 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-75344-7 Achieving sustained response remains a challenge for patients with difficult-to-treat immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Here, the authors report that low-dose baricitinib plus danazol may be effective for patients with difficult-to-treat ITP with acceptable safety profiles.

Multiple myeloma is a cancer that begins in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell that normally helps the body fight infections. When these cells become cancerous, they grow out of control inside the bone marrow and crowd out healthy blood cells. This can lead to bone pain, frequent infections, anemia, kidney problems, and […] The post Doctors update the warning signs for the most dangerous mu…

Hemophilia B is a rare X-linked congenital bleeding disorder characterized by a deficiency in coagulation factor IX (FIX). Standard management relies on exogenous factor replacement; however, the development of neutralizing alloantibodies (inhibitors) against infused clotting factor can significantly reduce therapeutic efficacy and complicate long-term management. Consequently, patients turn to b…

A new report in The Lancet Haematology, led by Cleveland Clinic hematologist Bethany Samuelson Bannow, M.D., outlines practical strategies to improve diagnosis, care and outcomes globally for women and girls with hematological conditions, such as bleeding disorders, heavy menstrual bleeding, postpartum hemorrhage, thrombosis and maternal hematologic complications. The Commission on Global Female …
