Pulmonary embolism at high altitude and hyperhomocysteinemia.

H M Ashraf1, Asim Javed, Shahzad Ashraf.   

Abstract

This case report describes pulmonary embolism in a patient as a complication of extended stay at high altitude. He also had increased plasma homocysteine levels. Hypercoagulability at high altitude along with hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for arterial and venous thrombosis.
