Von Willebrand factor, its cleaving protease (ADAMTS13), and inflammation in young adults: The African-PREDICT study.

CONCLUSIONS: Markers of haemostasis associated independently with low-grade inflammation in the O type blood group and white men. An interplay between the haemostatic and inflammatory systems may already exist in young healthy adults and is dependent on blood groups, sex and race. This extends our understanding on the role of inflammation in the early development of vascular dysfunction prior to cardiovascular compromise.
