Hyperfibrinolysis and hypercholesterolaemia in salt-intoxication in pigs.

ABSTRACT

Non-acute salt-intoxication in pigs leads to hyperfibrinolysis and a continuous rise in cholesterol due to an increase in the LDL fraction. Morphologically, spherical microthrombi, vascular wall infiltration and changes to organs have been found, as have also been described in shock or stress situations.
