Lecture - Module 4 Flashcards
the physiological process that removes insoluble fibrin deposits by enzymatic digestion of the stabilized fibrin polymers.
FIBRINOLYSIS
Clots are dissolved by
plasmin
Plasmin digests fibrin and fibrinogen by __________ to produce progressively smaller fragments.
hydrolysis
________ circulates in the plasma until an injury occurs
inactive plasminogen
Plasminogen activation to plasmin is a result of the activity of a number of proteolytic enzymes which are referred to as
Plasminogen Activators
Actions of plasmin
Digest fibrin, fibrinogen, II, V, VIII, XII, results in hypocoagulability- hemorrhagic diasthesis
Plasmin is made up of
Plasminogen and tPA
These are called dead end degradation Products
fragment D and E
Endogenous plasminogen activators
TPA
UPA
XIa, XIIa, Kallikrein
Exogenous plasminogen activators
Streptokinase
APSAC (acyl-plasminogen streptokinase activator complex)
PLASMINOGEN INHIBITORS
Alpha 2- antiplasmin
Alpha 2- macroglobulin
Thrombomodulin
PAI 1 and PAI 2
Increased Activator will cause
Increased risk of thrombosis
Increased Inhibitor will cause
Increased risk of bleeding
Main converter of Plasminogen to plasmin
Tissue Plasminogen Activator
It is secreted by Endothelial cells
Tissue Plasminogen Activator
It is bound with thrombus and PAI-1
Tissue Plasminogen Activator
It is secreted by , Kidneys, UT epithelial cells, Monocytes and Macrophages
Urokinase Plasminogen Activator
Circulates in plasma
Urokinase Plasminogen Activator
