The authors carried out investigations on the blood coagulation and fibrinolysis in renal diseases and found many evidencies of a hypercoagulability state : 1 ) studies on the plasma factors showed among others an increased level of factors I, VII and VIII; 2) studies on the fibrinolytic system an inhibition of the fibrinolysis in euglobulins; 3) Thromboelastographic (TEG) studies: widening of the maximum TEG amplitude (increased “Emx” index) and a tendency to shortening of “r” and “k” segment; 4) Determination of the half time of radioactivity decay of fibrinogen (T½ 131J fibrinogen) showed a significant reduction of the T½ J fibrinogen; 5) the paracoagulation test was positive in many cases; 6) Fibrinogen and fibrin degradation products (FDP) were increased in serum and urine of many patients. The results were analysed in different renal diseases and in cases of renal insufficiency separately. The findings speak for an increased tendency for clotting in the renal diseases and are very important for pathogenesis and treatment.
