Platelet aggregation test (PAgT), platelet adhesion test (PAdT), thromboplastic activity of factor Ⅷ (FⅧ∶c), antithrombin Ⅲ activity (AT-Ⅲ∶a), antithrombin Ⅲ antigen (AT-Ⅲ∶Ag), von willebrand factor (vWF) and fibrinogen (Fg) were measured in 33 patients with biliary tract diseases and 24 normal individuals. The results showed that there was no significant difference in PAgT, PAdT, AT-Ⅲ∶a and AT-Ⅲ∶Ag between the two groups (P>0.05). Fg increased more significantly in biliary tract disease than in the controls (P<0.01). FⅧ∶c increased more significantly in patients with obstructive jaundice than in that of nonjaundiced and the controls (P<0.01). The levels of vWF increased higher and higher in the sequence of patients with no jaundice, obstructive jaundice due to benign diseases and obstructive jaundice due to malignancy(P<0.01). In conclusion, Fg, FⅧ∶c and vWF increased in patients with biliary tract disease.
