Natural inhibitors of fibrinolysis.

Inhibitors of fibrinolysis: evidence of some instances of mutual potentiation.

Inhibitors of fibrinolysis may be divided into naturally circulating inhibitors and antifibrinolytic agents. Natural inhibitors are present in plasma and are components of blood cells, especially platelets. Several types of antifibrinolytic activity can be distinguished: antiplasmin activity, and anti-activator activity against streptokinase, urokinase, and tissue activator induced plasminogen ...

Studies of streptococcal fibrinolysis; the inhibition of streptococcal fibrinolysis by antifibrinolysin and antiprotease.

A study on changes of coagulation inhibitors and fibrinolysis inhibitors in patients with liver cirrhosis and hepatoma.

The authors conducted an investigation focusing mainly on the activities of the inhibitory factors of the coagulation and fibrinolysis processes in 35 normal adults and 72 liver cirrhosis and/or hepatoma patients. The activities of antithrombin III, protein C, and alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor were reduced to less than 50% in patients with decreased hepatic synthetic function while lupus anticoagul...

Prethrombotic States, and Stroke

Prethrombotic states are pathologic conditions in which blood coagulation, platelet function, or fibrinolysis have been altered to favor thrombosis. Epidemiologic studies suggest that prethrombotic states may occur in some patients with stroke who have atherosclerotic risk factors, but the details of these relationships remain poorly understood. Recently, many of the natural inhibitors of throm...

Antiphospholipid antibodies, prethrombotic states, and stroke.

Prethrombotic states are pathologic conditions in which blood coagulation, platelet function, or fibrinolysis have been altered to favor thrombosis. Epidemiologic studies suggest that prethrombotic states may occur in some patients with stroke who have atherosclerotic risk factors, but the details of these relationships remain poorly understood.
