Abstract
In this review it is proposed first to consider laboratory-tests in general. What are they for? How are they to be judged? The criteria for the diagnosis of thrombosis will be considered and then the functions thought to be involved. Finally some tests preferred by the author will be briefly reviewed against this back-ground information.
