I am Karina Althaus, a specialist in transfusion medicine with a particular focus on coagulation and platelet laboratory work. My career revolves around providing comprehensive care to patients with coagulation disorders and hemophilia, through the management of a specialized clinic dedicated to their needs.
My professional interests extend to exploring immun-mediated platelet disorders, congenital platelet disorders, and the intricate role of platelets in patients with factor deficiency. With a background rooted in transfusion medicine, I am passionate about unraveling the complexities of blood clotting and platelet function to better serve my patients.
