Key result
The endothelium plays a critical role in maintaining hemostatic balance and thrombin generation, with endothelial dysfunction increasingly recognized as a cause of thrombosis in various diseases.
Why the study?
Endothelium plays a critical role in maintaining hemostatic balance and its dysfunction contributes to thrombosis in various diseases, necessitating a comprehensive review of its role in hemostasis.
This review highlights the critical role of the endothelium in maintaining hemostatic balance and its contribution to thrombosis when dysfunctional.

Endothelium's primary hemostatic role may inform targeted research; leaves open clinical translation without higher-level evidence.
Forming an interface with virtually every other organ, endothelium has a strategic role in modulating vascular homeostasis. While its miscellany of functions includes regulation of vasomotor tone, promotion, and prevention of vascular growth, and modulation of inflammatory and hemostatic processes, it functions critically in maintaining the balance of hemostasis in health. Whereas endothelium has been recognized to influence all stages of hemostasis, new evidence suggests it to have a primary role for thrombin generation. Endothelial dysfunction is being increasingly appreciated in several pathological states and particularly, by virtue of its critical role in hemostasis, in causing thrombosis in a multitude of diseases.

Boyce et al. (2015) conducted a review in Endothelial dysfunction and thrombosis. Endothelial function was evaluated. The endothelium plays a critical role in maintaining hemostatic balance and thrombin generation, with endothelial dysfunction increasingly recognized as a cause of thrombosis in various diseases.
