Abstract: Hypercoagulable and hyperinflammatory responses can lead to a variety of diseases including but not limited to disseminated intravascular coagulation in sepsis, consumptive coagulopathy in trauma, thrombosis in the postsurgical setting, acute respiratory distress syndrome in lung, and other diseases or conditions. Polyphosphate is accumulated by many infectious microorganisms and may be released by damaged infectious microorganisms. In addition, polyphosphate is found in many organs and is released from activated platelets and mast cells. Polyphosphates activate the intrinsic pathway of coagulation that also induces inflammation. Hypercoagulable and hyperinflammatory challenge are mediators contributing to endothelial dysfunction, organ failure and death, which occur in many pathological conditions.

Abstract: Methods for stopping or slowing bleeding from a wound are provided; these methods include the step of administering a composition comprising a polyphosphate (polyP) to blood from the wound at the site of the wound. Also provided are methods for slowing fibrinolysis and for blocking the action of Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI) with the use of polyP.
