title: [Mechanism of hypoprothrombinemia and hypoproconvertinemia in experimental thyrotoxicosis].
abstract: The changes in the thromboelastogram (TEG), the activity and disintegration of prothrombin and proconvertin were studied in experiments on rats with thyrotoxicosis induced by giving thyroidin per os. In marked thyroidin intoxication the majority of TEG indices shifted to hypocoagulation. The most distinct changes were: delayed thrombin formation, an increase in the general coagulation constant, and a decrease in the maximal amplitude. Besides, a decrease of the activity and an increase in prothrombin disintegration (particularly of proconvertin) was observed. It is supposed that increased disintegration of these procoagulants is of great importance in the pathogenesis of hypoprothrombinemia and hypoproconvertinemia in thyrotoxicosis.
