Numerous studies have indicated that obese individuals exhibit higher plasma concentrations of all pro-thrombotic factors, such as fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, and factor VII in comparison to non-obese individuals. Additionally, elevated plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 have been studied in obese individuals compared to non-obese individuals. Moreover, obesity is marked by heightened plasma concentrations of anti-thrombotic agents, such as urokinase plasminogen activator, tissue-type plasminogen activator, and proteins C and S. The rise in these agents may be seen as protective measures to mitigate the impacts of the increased pro-thrombotic factors. The molecular connections between coagulation and fibrinolytic systems facilitate the targeted and efficient breakdown of fibrin accumulations, ensuring continuous blood flow and minimizing blood loss. The link between obesity, endothelial dysfunction, and haemostasis suggests that obesity features elevated levels of von Willebrand factor, fibrinogen, tissue factors, factor VII, VIII, and FX, which have been noted to promote a hypercoagulable condition. Although the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems collaborate to maintain the haemostatic equilibrium of the system, the fibrinolytic system functions to orchestrate the interactions among activators, zymogens, enzymes, cofactors, receptors, and inhibitors of fibrinolysis, facilitating the breakdown of fibrin deposits at the injury site without causing systemic negative effects. Thrombosis linked to obesity is one of the leading global health issues, and thus, continuous updates in this field are essential for improved comprehension of this treatable yet widespread condition.                   Peer Review History: Received 25 September 2025;   Reviewed 3 November 2025; Accepted  18 December; Available online 15 January 2026 Academic Editor: Dr. Iman Muhammad Higazy, National Research Center, Egypt, imane.higazy@hotmail.com Reviewers: Dr. Sabah Hussien El-Ghaiesh, Tanta University, Egypt, s.ghaiesh@gmail.com Dr. Rawaa Souhil Al-Kayali, Aleppo University, Syria, rawah67@hotmail.com 01 15 2026 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 10.22270/ujpr.v10i6.1463 https://ujpronline.com/index.php/journal/article/view/1463 https://ujpronline.com/index.php/journal/article/download/1463/2046 https://ujpronline.com/index.php/journal/article/download/1463/2046 https://ujpronline.com/index.php/journal/article/download/1463/2047 https://ujpronline.com/index.php/journal/article/download/1463/2067
