Predisposition to thrombosis not reflected by the blood coagulogram.
Experiments on rats indicate that thrombosis of large veins can develop while blood coagulability is decreased. Hence, coagulation tests have only a limited value in predicting a thrombotic tendency, although they do show characteristic changes during the formation of thrombi.
