Abstract Objective To clarify the role played by endothelial cell production of fibrinolytic factors in normal pregnancy and pre- eclampsia.
This review examines the roles of the major fibrinolytic factors involved in clot lysis.
Essentially the action of streptokinase is to boost the fibrinolytic system and remove thrombi which are potentially life-threatening.
Platelet thrombus formation and aggregation are reduced, and fibrinolytic capacity increased, in patients treated with statins.
Regardless of the specific cause of DIC, the results are a malfunction of thrombin (an enzyme) and prothrombin (a glycoprotein), which activate the fibrinolytic system, releasing clotting factors in the blood.
