    摘要: The present invention is directed to therapeutic methods using IL-6 antagonists such as antibodies and fragments thereof having binding specificity for IL-6 to prevent or treat thrombosis or hypercoagulation in patients having, or at risk of developing, diseases associated with abnormal blood coagulation or fibrinolysis and/or patients which are at increased risk or are being treated by a regimen that renders the patient at increased susceptibility to hypercoagulation or thrombosis such as patients who have previously had a stroke or heart attack or persons on a treatment regimen with a drug or chemotherapy and/or radiation that is associated with increased risk of thrombosis or hypercoagulation. In preferred embodiments these patients will comprise those exhibiting elevated D-dimer or other coagulation cascade related proteins and optionally will further exhibit elevated C reactive protein prior to treatment. The subject therapies also may include the administration of other actives such as chemotherapeutics, anti-coagulants, statins, et al.
