The Fibrinolytic Enzyme System in Acute and Chronic Liver Injury

The Fibrinolytic Enzyme System in Acute and Chronic Liver Injury Components of the fibrinolytic enzyme system were measured in patients with liver disease. Patients with hepatic cirrhosis and chronic active hepatitis had a trend towards increased plasminogen activator activity and decreased plasminogen levels. Patients with non-cirrhotic alcoholic liver damage had decreased activator activity with elevated fibrinogen and α<sub>1</sub>-antitrypsin levels. Primary biliary cirrhosis was associated with reduced activator activity and high levels of fibrinogen, α<sub>1</sub>-antitrypsin and α<sub>2</sub>-macroglobulin. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Haematologica Karger

Abstract

Components of the fibrinolytic enzyme system were measured in patients with liver disease. Patients with hepatic cirrhosis and chronic active hepatitis had a trend towards increased plasminogen activator activity and decreased plasminogen levels. Patients with non-cirrhotic alcoholic liver damage had decreased activator activity with elevated fibrinogen and α<sub>1</sub>-antitrypsin levels. Primary biliary cirrhosis was associated with reduced activator activity and high levels of fibrinogen, α<sub>1</sub>-antitrypsin and α<sub>2</sub>-macroglobulin.
