COAGULATION TIME IN PARATHYROID TETANY

Abstract
Blood coagulation time is delayed in parathyroid tetany. Some dogs showed only a slight delay, while the blood of one in severe tetany did not clot for 30 hrs. One ounce of cod liver oil or 0.4 cc. of acterol restored normal coagulation time after a period of 2-4 hours in these animals. Animals receiving cod liver oil or acterol for 20-40 days recovered, and the blood coagulation and serum Ca returned to normal.
