Aim of this study was to analyze circulating tissue factor (TF) activity and proinflammatory cytokines in patients with deep venous thrombosis. Forty-eight patients with deep vein thrombosis and 23 control subjects were included. In venous blood samples TF antigen, activity and microparticles were similar in both groups. In contrast, a significant increase in plasma IL-6, IL-8 and F1 + 2 levels was found in thrombosis. The increase in IL-6 and IL-8 as well as F1 + 2 was not correlated with the extent of thrombosis, predisposing factors or onset of symptoms. In conclusion, the results make a major role of circulating TF in the development of venous thrombosis more unlikely.
