The results of blood coagulation studies following intravenous fat infusion in normal subjects and patients with coagulation disorders are reported. The only consistent change noted was a decrease in the Russell viper venom time. The Russell viper venom time is considered to be a poor indicator of coagulability of the blood in vivo. It is suggested that there is no conclusive evidence that lipemia per se results in hypercoagulability of the blood.
