METHOD OF DIAGNOSIS OF DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR BLOOD COAGULATION SEVERITY DEGREE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, hematology. SUBSTANCE: blood sample (4-5 ml) is settled for 30-40 min and centrifuged. The obtained clot is washed on funnel made of net (hole size is (0.1 x 0.1) - (1.0 x 1.0) mm for 1-2 min and weighed. Fibrin is isolated by clot pressing through a net and the remained fibrin is washed on a net with water for 2-3 min. Fibrin is collected, dried by filter paper, weighed and fibrin content is calculated as a weight per 100 g crude clots. Light, moderate and severe degree of disseminated intravascular blood coagulation were diagnosed if fibrin weight is increased by before 3%, 3-6% and above 6%, respectively. EFFECT: simplified method of diagnosis. 2 tbl
