[Biochemical studies in the postmortem diagnosis of the disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome].

Sulfite-alkaline method after Rampling and Gaffney is proposed for measuring fibrinogen and fibrin degradation products in cadaveric blood. Normal values for cadaveric blood are determined and qualitative paracoagulation tests proposed. Such biochemical studies can be used, along with histological, for more accurate postmortem diagnosis of the DIC syndrome.
