[Significance of the laboratory diagnosis of hypercoagulability]
Alterations characteristic of the hypercoagulation syndrome such as changes in fibrinogen content, in FDP concentration and platelet counts as well as the presence of fibrinogen complexes were demonstrated by laboratory findings in 175 patients with severe diseases and disturbances of haemostasis. Twenty per cent of the patients showed no clinical signs of disturbances of haemostasis, in 32.5 per cent pronounced venous thrombosis occurred, bleeding complications arised in 28 per cent and microthrombosis developed in 20 per cent. The different findings in the individual groups are assumed to be due not only to haemostatic factors but also to other ones.
