Detection of prethrombotic and thrombotic states.
Newer methods for detecting subclinical thrombosis are discussed. Uses of radionuclides for thrombus localization are reviewed. Laboratory tests suitable for nonspecialized laboratories are highlighted. The serial use of functional antithrombin III and ethanol gelation assays are recommended to follow the effect of anticoagulant therapy. The use of heparin therapy in low dosage is discussed.
