[Functional deficiency of erythrocyte thromboplastin factor]

A study of human erythrocytes in healthy and sick persons showed changes in the erythrocytes procoagulant activity, namely a reduction of the whole cell thromboplastin activity despite a sufficient procoagulant factor content. A term "functional insufficiency of thromboplastin factor of erythrocytes" or briefly "erythrocytic thrombopathy" is suggested for the above-mentioned changes of erythrocytes, similar with the changes of platelet procoagulant properties in one of the thrombopathy forms.
