Fibrinogen Has a Rapid Turnover in the Healthy Newborn Lamb
Abstract
ABSTRACT: The half-lives for coagulation factors in the healthy newborn infant are not known and may be different than for the adult. We measured the half-life for fetal sheep fibrinogen and compared it to the half-life of adult sheep fibrinogen. Fibrinogen was purified from adult and fetal sheep plasma and radiolabeled with either 125I or 131I. The half-lives for these fibrinogens were determined in the adult sheep and newborn lamb. In …
