RESUMO

Thrombokinetograms are graphic depictions of the optical changes occurring in plasma during the clotting process and provide information, not only on the time required for clotting to begin, but also on the way in which the clot forms. We studied thrombokinetic profiles in plasmas from normal dogs, and dogs with varying degrees of factor VIII deficiency. Clotting was induced through intrinsic, extrinsic and common coagulation pathways [activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and thrombin time, respectively].
