Abstract
A modern outline of the physiology of coagulation, a simple approach to the use of laboratory investigation for patients with possible clotting disorders in unexplained hematuria and several illustrative cases are presented. The diagnosis and management of localized fibrinolysis in the genitourinary tract and intravascular coagulation as possible causes of post-prostatectomy hemorrhage are discussed. A minimum of a platelet count, fibrinogen assay and, if possible, measurement of fibrinogen-related antigens should be obtained before administration of epsilon aminocaproic acid.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
