Procoagulant effect of aqueous humor on in vitro clotting of blood and plasma.
Fresh and previously frozen aqueous humor was found to shorten the recalcification time of both canine citrated blood and human citrated plasma. This state of accelerated coagulation was dose related and preliminary studies indicate that aqueous humor acts as a procoagulant rather than a thromboplastin-like substance.
