The effects of whole-body x ray doses of 600 r on the clotting system of tbe blood in dogs were studied. Measurements were made on the formation of thromboplastin, prothrombin, and fibrinogen, and the anti-coagulant activity of the blood. Free heparin was increased in 12 of 20 dogs exposed to LD/sub 85/ doses of radiation. Thromboplastin formation was severely disturbed in all exposed animals. The effects of disturbances of the clotting process on the development of hemorrhages in the radiation syndrome are discussed. (C.H.)
