Abstrakt: The article presents information on the prediction of thromboembolism. The pathogenesis and the natural course of thromboembolic disease have now been elucidated in their main outlines. Similarly, the chief processes of coagulation have also been established though important details are still the subject of much controversy. An extensive literature has arisen in an attempt to correlate changes or aberrations of the coagulative mechanism with clinical thromboembolism. Particularly, a great effort has been made to identify some prethrombotic, or thrombophilic, or hypercoagulable state which might indicate either an imminent thrombosis, or the actual presence of thrombi.
