Investigations of host defence in patients with sickle cell disease.

abstract：:It is the capacity to generate thrombin, and the enzymatic work that thrombin does, that determines blood coagulability. Therefore, measurement of the enzymatic work potential of thrombin provides a method for quantifying the composite effect of the multiple factors that determine coagulation capacity. The application...
