In 20 patients the fibrinolytic capacity was assessed by the venous occlusion test and by stimulation with DDAVP injection (0.4 microgram/kg). Irrespective of the test used, all cases were classified into the same group of responsiveness (responder, low responder, non-responder) with the exception of one patient. DDAVP injection caused subjective discomfort only in some cases, while the venous occlusion test was invariably accompanied by pain.
