title: [Coagulation and acute disseminated lupus erythematosus. Apropos of 25 cases].
abstract: It is important to study coagulation during lupus disease, not only to detect circulating anticoagulants, which may be the cause of hemorrhage, but also in order to seek chronic hypercoagulability, which is more dangerous as it may favour the development of thrombosis on inflammatory arteritis or aggravate the development of glomerular lesions. We have thus explored in this way 25 patients with systemic lupus of which 17 had histologically confirmed renal disease. 25% had hypocoagulability, but 50% had hypercoagulability which justitied treatment with heparin.
