Dr. Thomas S. Kickler

 

 

 

 

 

Research Interests
Dr Kickler’s current clinical research involves  the study of  pathologic blood clotting in variety of clinical disorders including cancer, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, pregnancy, sickle cell disease and lupus. His research shows that measuring total thrombin potential may be useful in determining the relative risk of thrombosis in different clinical situations and may be useful in developing new treatment strategies to prevent thrombosis. In addition, Dr Kickler directs the coagulation laboratories which are used to evaluate patients seen in the Hematology Clinic and Hemophilia Center.
