With the purpose of evaluating the thrombocytic hemostasis in hemorrhages, blood platelet function was studied as recommended by Born-O'Brien in patients in the early period following the surgical arrest of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Enhanced functional activity of cells was revealed in 88.24% of cases, with marked hyperaggregation being recordable in 38.24% of cases and moderate one in the others when it revealed itself only with small concentrations of an inductor of aggregation being employed. In 11.76% of cases the blood platelets functional activity has gotten decreased. When comparing with an analysis of enzymic hemostasis and clinical picture of the condition a conclusion was drawn to the effect that enhanced functional activity of blood platelets is of compensatory and adaptive nature and that it maintains blood hemostatic potential in the pro- and anticoagulants dysbalance. Lowering of thrombocytic activity against that background can account for recurring nature of hemorrhage.
