Hor- mones were defined as ‘the chemical messengers which, speeding from cell to cell along the blood stream, may coordinate the activities and growth of different parts of the body’. During the subsequent 100 years, the knowledge on hormones has expanded widely and this led to various therapeutic options for various dis- eases (2). Hormones exert their action by binding to tissue-specific receptors. The hormone-receptor complex then increases or decreases gene transcription. By this mechanism, hormones may alter protein synthesis in various tissues. In this thesis we aimed to explore the hormonal influence on the haemostatic system and its potential clinical consequences. Haemostasis is the process that maintains the integrity of a closed circulatory system after vascular damage (3). Primary haemostasis is defined as the forma- tion of the primary platelet plug. Secondary haemostasis is the process of fibrin formation to stabilize the platelet plug. The process of dissolution of fibrin in blood clots is called fibrinolysis. These physiological processes may be unbalanced which results in pathology, e.g., arterial or venous thrombosis. The most common pre- sentations of venous thrombosis are deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity and pulmonary embolism which can be life-threatening. Myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke are the most common presentations of arterial thrombosis. Hormones may influence the risk of both arterial and venous thrombosis via different mechanisms. The effect on arterial thrombosis is mainly indirect. For instance, thyroid hormone stimulates the clearance
