ABSTRACT Selected coagulation and fibrinolytic parameters were assessed in 40 insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients with varying degrees of metabolic control; 30 healthy subjects matched for age and sex formed the control group. Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time, Prothrombin Time, Fibrinogen, Factor VII, Antithrombin 111,Protein C, Plasminogen, a2-Plasmin Inhibitor, Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor- 1, tissue-Plasminogen Activator were functionally evaluated. Antigenic levels of tissue-Plasminogen Activator, Thrombin-Antithrombin complexes and fibrinolytic specific product BP 15-42 were also determined. Compared to the control group diabetic patients displayed significantly higher levels of Fibrinogen (p
