Our purpose was to study the peculiarities of changing the hemostasis in ch
ildren with chronic constipation. In the course of our investigation of hem
ostasis in children with chronic constipation, we found chronometric hypoco
agulation with impairment of internal (XII, XI, IX, VIII) and external (II,
V, VII, X) mechanisms of blood clotting, at the base of which is a deficit
of vitamin R-dependent factors (II, VII, IX, X) and a slight impairment of
the final stage of coagulation. In thrombocytovascular hemostasis, thrombo
cytopathy demonstrated increased adenosine-5-diphosphate aggregation and su
ppression of the internal route of fibrinolysis and endotheliosis. We must
point out that all these changes lead to impairment of microcirculation in
the form of thromboses, particularly in the submucous and mucous membrane v
essels, which is confirmed by the morphologic findings. In the compensated
form, chronometric hypocoagulation with a deficit of II, IX, and X factors
is noted. In the subcompensated form, hypocoagulation increases, and the de
ficit of V and VII factors is in part the cause. Endotheliosis and the incr
ease of the thrombogenesis dynamics are noted in the thrombocytovascular se
ction. In the decompensated form, there is marked hypocoagulation. Low acti
vity of antithrombin III leads to high content of fibrinmonomeasured comple
xes in combination with reduction of the thrombocytes quantity and to hyper
coagulation. The present changes are confirmed by the morphologic research
methods of studying the vascular channel of the large intestine wall, where
organized thrombi and a marked plethora of neutrophil tissue infiltration
are often revealed.
