Q

The action of plasmin can be specific or non specific

A

It is non specific in fluid state as it doesn’t bind fibrin
It is specific when bound to fibrin breaking it down

Q

Differentiate between nonspecific and specific fibrinolytic drugs

A

Nonspecific fibrinolytic drugs can bind fibrin both in fluid state and when tissue-specific I.e circulating and non-circulating

Hence it can result in local fibrinolysis
Systemic fibrinolysis

For the nonspecific fibrinolytic agents, they are synonymous with the tPAs
They are specific and selective

Tissue clot specific
Selective for non-circulating plasminogen
Hence there’s a reduced likeliness for bleeding to occur
