The effect of somatostatin on haemostasis in dogs.
The effect of somatostatin on haemostasis in the dogs was tested. The following data could be found: marked shortening of clotting time, decrease of platelet count, decrease of fibrinogen, level, an increase of plasma euglobulin fibrinolytic activity, prolongation of thrombin time and consumption of plasminogen. The obtained results indicate a biphasic haemostatic reaction, first hypercoagulability and then hypocoagulability. The presented results are briefly discussed with some remarks to clinical practice.
