IMPAIRMENT of the hemostatic mechanism is a common experience in active disease of the liver. Several recent reports 1–4 have stressed the multiplicity of plasma clotting factors that may be deficient ...

“The variable performance of hemostatic drugs with differing mechanisms of action in clinical hemostasis assays complicates efforts to compare agents in preclinical settings, monitor postinfusion ...
