The Influence of Age on in vitro Plasmin Generation in the Presence of Fibrin Monomer
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The components of the fibrinolytic system interact to generate plasmin from its zymogen form, plasminogen. At birth, all the components of the fibrinolytic system are present but with differing plasma concentrations. The present study was undertaken to explore the effect of physiological, age-dependent factors of the fibrinolytic system during childhood on the capacity to generate plasmin.
DESIGN AND METHODS: Total …
