Plasma concentrations of myeloperoxidase predict mortality after myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVES This study investigated relationships between plasma myeloperoxidase (MPO), protein oxidation markers, and clinical outcome retrospectively in patients after acute myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND Reactive oxidants are implicated in cardiovascular disease, and elevated plasma MPO is reported to predict adverse outcome in acute coronary syndromes. METHODS Detailed demographi...

Plasma concentrations of D-dimer and outcome of in vitro fertilization

BACKGROUND The activation of blood coagulation could contribute to the failure of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of D-dimer levels for pregnancy outcome in women undergoing IVF. FINDINGS A prospective study was performed in 105 women undergoing IVF. D-dimer was measured before and one week after the administration of recombina...

Plasma D-dimer Can Effectively Predict the Prospective Occurrence of Ascites in Advanced Schistosomiasis Japonica Patients

China still has more than 30,000 patients of advanced schistosomiasis while new cases being reported consistently. D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product. As ascites being the dominating symptom in advanced schistosomiasis, the present study aimed to explore a prediction model of ascites with D-dimer and other clinical easy-achievable indicators. A case-control study nested in a prospective co...

Weil's disease with elevated plasma D-dimer.

We report a case of Weil's disease manifesting elevation of plasma D-dimer in the acute phase. Later, in the convalescent phase after treatment, the plasma levels of D-dimer returned to normal. Plasma D-dimer can be used as a marker of fibrin formation and degradation. Based on our observations, we conjecture that fibrin formation and fibrinolysis may occur in the acute phase of Weil's disease.

Elevated pretreatment plasma D-dimer levels and platelet counts predict poor prognosis in pancreatic adenocarcinoma

This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the prognostic significance of the preoperative plasma D-dimer levels and platelet counts in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A total of 168 consecutive locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients who underwent intensity modulated radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy were enrolled in this study. Plasma D-dimer levels w...
