The dynamics of blood 5'-nucleotidase activity and the state of the hemocoagulation system were studied in 47 patients with acute traumatic brain injury. An increase in the activity of blood 5'-nucleotidase was found in all observations, directly correlating with the degree of intravascular activation of the blood coagulation system. It is assumed that the main cause of these shifts is the arrival of thromboplastin from the foci of destruction of brain tissue, an indicator of which is the increased activity of 5'-nucleotidase of blood.
