[Blood coagulation in patients with ulcerous gastrointestinal hemorrhage]
In 108 patients with ulcerous gastrointestinal hemorrhage, the indices which characterize the coagulative and fibrinolytic systems of the blood were studied. At the moment of admission, in patients with severe blood loss, the moderate manifestations of the disseminated intravascular coagulation, which is the most characteristic in globular volume deficiency of more than 50%, were noted. After the operation, the revealed changes in the system of hemostasis increased. Beginning from the day 5, a tendency for normalization of the indices was noted, however by the moment of discharge of the patients they do not achieve the normal ones.

Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized, and...
Coagulation
During the coagulation phase, clotting factors, or procoagulants, play a vital role in initiating and progressing the coagulation cascade. This cascade is a series of reactions...
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
