BLOOD FIBRIN IN UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT OBSTRUCTION.
After high gastrointestinal tract obstruction the blood fibrin increases rapidly. The change is more marked in animals with obstruction of the cardiac end of the stomach. The rise in fibrin parallels closely the toxemia characteristic of such conditions. These results indicate that liver insufficiency cannot be the cause of death in such obstructions.
