The long-awaited whole-blood thrombin generation test.
Thrombin is a multifunctional protease that, in addition to hemostasis, supports other “nonhemostatic” mechanisms, such as the regulation of vascular permeability, vascular tone, inflammation, and angiogenesis. There is also evidence that thrombin plays a role in the pathogenesis and progression of liver fibrosis (1 ). Among the hemostasis functions played by thrombin, one may list the fibrinog...
متن کاملThrombin Generation in Zebrafish Blood.
To better understand hypercoagulability as an underlying cause for thrombosis, the leading cause of death in the Western world, new assays to study ex vivo coagulation are essential. The zebrafish is generally accepted as a good model for human hemostasis and thrombosis, as the hemostatic system proved to be similar to that in man. Their small size however, has been a hurdle for more widespread...
متن کاملAutologous thrombin: intraoperative production from whole blood.
Thrombin is routinely combined in surgical practice with a fibrinogen source to prepare fibrin sealant to promote hemostasis or with platelet concentrates to prepare platelet gels to enhance wound healing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the robustness and reproducibility of a new sterile handheld disposable thrombin-processing device (TPD) to generate autologous human thrombin in the...
متن کاملMonitoring thrombin generation by electrochemistry: development of an amperometric biosensor screening test for plasma and whole blood.
BACKGROUND Complete investigation of thrombophilic or hemorrhagic clinical presentations is a time-, apparatus-, and cost-intensive process. Sensitive screening tests for characterizing the overall function of the hemostatic system, or defined parts of it, would be very useful. For this purpose, we are developing an electrochemical biosensor system that allows measurement of thrombin generation...
متن کاملIncreased thrombin generation after acute versus chronic coronary disease as assessed by the thrombin generation test.
Atherosclerosis is the most common pathophysiologic substrate of coronary artery disease (CAD). Whereas plaque progression and arterial remodeling are critical components in chronic CAD, intracoronary thrombosis over plaque disruption is causally related to acute CAD. It was the objective of this study to investigate the differences between prior acute CAD and chronic CAD by a simple global coa...
