[Determination of thrombocyte aggregation by a modification of K. Wu and J. Hoak's method]

The authors review the results of estimating platelet spontaneous aggregation by Wu and Hoak's method and by its modifications. They describe a modification of the procedure that essentially improves the accuracy of investigation, is sufficiently sensitive, simple, and rapid. Its informative value was confirmed in experiments with spontaneous platelet aggregation in rabbits with cholesterolemia.
