Abstract
Hypocoagulability or hypercoagulability may occur as the result of any change in the hemostasis potential and any deviation in the hemostatic equilibrium from normal coagulability which exceeds a certain level. Depending on the extent of the disorder in the coagulation and fibrinolysis system and the availability of inhibitors of coagulation and fibrinolysis, the hypocoagulability or hypercoagulability may take a clinically latent course or become manifest in hemorrhagic symptoms and disorders of hemostasis, or else in the development of intravasal clotting processes and thromboembolic complications. The processes are affected by concomitant diseases and therapeutic measures which may be aimed specifically at the coagulation system or may affect the hemostatic system via side effects.
