The Hemostasis Picture: What Ultrafiltration does to Coagulation, Clotting Factors, Platelet Count & Function (Video)

We determined that decreased antithrombin activity is responsible for accelerated clot initiation via thrombelastography with in vitro plasma-based experiments. Celite activation of plasma resulted in a linear relationship between degree of dilution and thrombelastographic variables.
