Thrombosis and blood coagulation are dynamic processes necessary for the maintenance of circulatory hemostasis. As well as preventing life threatening loss of blood during surgery or accidental wounding, the process is concerned with the more subtle preservation of the integrity of small blood vessels and quickly plugs vessels when a solution of continuity occurs. Hemostasis depends on a combination of three factors. These are the integrity of the capillary and blood vessel wall, circulating blood platelets and a number of clotting factors of which eleven have been isolated. Inefficiency of one or a combination of these factors leads to athrombocytopenic purpura, thrombocytopenic purpura, hemophilia and various other abnormal bleeding states.
