Hypocalcemia

i would think its vitamin K that would be associated in clotting.

I remember learning in nursing school about calcium is the only electrolyte that is associated with clotting. It helps to stop bleeding. That's why, patient who is bleeding will end up being hypocalcemic when all the calcium will go the site where the bleeding is located to help the bleeding to stop.

Interesting! Im glad you asked this question because I did not know this (or just pain forgot). Here is a link to what I found:

Blood: Platelets - The Human Heart: An Online Exploration from The Franklin Institute, made possible by Unisys

After reading this I would say that the answer to your original question, "doesnt hypocalcemia decrease clotting time?", would be yes it does increase clotting time.:

So hypocalcemic increase clotting time?

Yeah, I would think hypocalcemic will decrease clotting time.

"Calcium and vitamin K must be present in blood to support the formation of clots. If your blood is lacking these nutrients, it will take longer than normal for your blood to clot. If these nutrients are missing, you could bleed to death." http://www.fi.edu/learn/heart/)

My brain is really tired right now and im on my way to bed so forgive me if im totally off the mark here lol

This is how im looking at it;

If you increase your clotting time that means you are not going to clot as quickly as normal.

Why are you not clotting as quickly? Because with hypocalcemia you took away somthing that is helping you form clots (calcium)

So...Hypocalcemia=increased clotting time.....No??
