A study of the effects of venous occlusion on haemostatic variables in males and females.
The response of the coagulation-fibrinolysis system to venous occlusion was studied in 20 healthy subjects of both sexes. All of them showed increased fibrinolytic activity, the increase being greater in females. Fibrinogen content also increased in both sexes. The other parameters of coagulation studied showed varied responses.
