Abstract
Blood coagulation is a complex and highly coordinated process that is constantly altered and impacted by procoagulant and anticoagulant "players." It is vital that these components work in concert to maintain a balance to keep coagulation in check. Several important endogenous anticoagulants will be discussed in this review including tissue factor pathway inhibitor, antithrombin, protein C, and protein S in origin, structure, mechanism of action, effects of deficiency, and current knowledge in veterinary medicine.
