This case report describes pulmonary embolism in a patient as a complication of extended stay at high altitude. He also had increased plasma homocysteine levels. Hypercoagulability at high altitude along with hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for arterial and venous thrombosis.
本病例报告描述了一名患者因长时间停留于高海拔地区而发生肺栓塞这一并发症。该患者血浆同型半胱氨酸水平也有所升高。高海拔地区的高凝状态以及高同型半胱氨酸血症是动脉和静脉血栓形成的一个危险因素。
