Rest should be balanced with exercise, but the patient should be advised that activity and ambulation help prevent thrombotic complications. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

In response to increased oxidative stress, living organisms develop an antioxidant defense to prevent the harmful effects of free oxygen radicals. [karger.com]

The major goal of the treatment is to prevent thrombotic complications and haemorrhages. The amount of red blood cells is kept within the normal range (haematocrit 0.45, haemoglobin 145 g/l). This prevents cardiovascular deaths and thromboses. [books.google.de]

Therapy must also include appropriate measures to prevent continuing fluid loss. [doctor-clinic.org]
