How Do Toxins Affect Hemostasis?

Toxins can interfere with hemostatic processes at various stages. Some toxins may affect platelet function, either by inhibiting their aggregation or by causing excessive activation. Others may interact with the coagulation cascade, either enhancing or inhibiting the activity of clotting factors. Additionally, some toxic agents can damage the endothelial cells lining the blood vessels, which play a key role in maintaining hemostatic balance.
