[Mechanism of changes in blood clotting and fibrinolysis under the influence of a constant electric current].

It has been shown in experiments on dogs that the constant electric current (tension 20 V, exposition time 30 sec) transmitted through an animal organism induces the development of hypercoagulation and hyperfibrinolysis. In the course of these changes in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis an important role is played by tissue hemocoagulating compounds liberated from arteria, veins, muscles and nerves. It is concluded that the ejection of blood coagulation factors from tissues results from the changes in the functional state of cellular membranes, and their permeability in particular.
