[The use of the autocoagulation test for the detection of coagulopathies in rheumatoid arthritis].

The parameters of plasma-platelet component of hemostasis were studied by autocoagulation test in 90 patients with rheumatoid arthritis of varying activity. To specify the role of blood platelets, their counts were estimated, as was their functional activity. Plasma coagulating activity was found elevated and anticoagulating activity reduced in disease of the first and second degrees of activity, particularly so in the second degree.

[The indices of thrombocyte coagulating and fibrinolytic activity in rheumatoid arthritis patients].

Blood coagulation values (thrombocyte count, adhesive-aggregation thrombocytic activity, coagulographic data) were analysed in 90 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Increase of plasma coagulation activity was observed in all coagulation activity grades. The anticoagulation activity was most pronounced in grade III RA activity.
