Q

principle of whole blood clot lysis time

A

A clot is dissolved as a result of plasmin activity (no plasmin, no dissolution). Normally, this does not
occur in less than 72 hours because of the presence of plasma inhibitors which inactivate plasmin as it forms.

25
how adrenalin injection increase fibrinolytic activity
stimulates the release of tissue plasminogen activator which activates plasminogen to become plasmin

30
principle of euglobulin clot lysis time
addition of 1% acetic acid to diluted plasma causes the euglobulin portion of the plasma to precipitate after removing the supernatant, the euglobulin are dissolved in a buffer solution, thrombin is added to order to clot the euglobulins the clot is incubated at 37*C and the time of complete lysis is noted
