Review of adverse effects related to perioperative hemodilution with specific reference to modulation of hemostasis. Relevant studies were obtained from the medical literature. Artificial colloids impair hemostasis in a specific way, especially when given to patients with a congenital alteration of platelet function such as a mild form of von Willebrand disease.
