[Hemostaseopathies in chronic, azotemic renal insufficiency. Pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment (author's transl)]

A brief survey on the current concepts of diagnosis and pathogenesis of platelet dysfunction in chronic renal insufficiency is given on the basis of clinical hemostaseological investigations. Phenolic compounds, guanidine succinate and fibrin decomposition products are prominent in the discussion of uremia toxins possibly involved in disorders of thrombocytic function. Clinically practicable methods of analysis are briefly presented and the still imperfect status of therapy is emphasized.
