This review focused on recent advances in hematological laboratory tests of each arterial and venous thrombosis. Firstly, this paper described the current status and new trends of hematological laboratory tests, the items of which consist of the platelet-, the vascular endothelium- and the coagulation-fibrinolytic system-related tests. Secondly, results of hematological laboratory tests were proposed to be necessary to be analyzed and clinically applied on the basis of each thrombosis mechanism. Finally, it was postulated that since clinical manifestations of each thrombosis are extremely variable among patients, depending on the underlying disorders, hematological laboratory tests should be individualized for each patient.
