In 40 patients with diabetes mellitus type II without clinical signs of any organ complications and in the respective control group the following indices of hemostasis were assessed: 1) activity of AI-III, 2) activity of alfa-2-AP, 3) fibrinogen, 4) time of fibrinolysis, 5) platelets count, adhesiveness and spontaneous aggregation, 6) kaolin-cephalin and profil stipven-cephalin plasma times. All these indices were normal in uncomplicated diabetes mellitus with the expectation of platelets activity. Stimulation of platelets activity and increase of corresponding parameters appears in diabetes mellitus type II before any other symptoms of angiopathy.
