[Use of thrombin generation assay for the evaluation of coagulation and anticoagulant activity of hemostasis system in patients with abdominal sepsis].

Generally recognized factor, which complicates the course of sepsis, is the development of hypercoagulation syndrome. The increase of thrombin coagulation indicates on the elevation of risk of thrombus formation in microcirculation vessels, which could cause the formation of multiple organ failure. The thrombin generation assay is a new method of the evaluation of homeostasis system status.
