title: Determination of fast-acting plasmin inhibitor (alpha2-antiplasmin) in plasma from patients with tendency to thrombosis and increased fibrinolysis.
abstract: The physiologically important alpha2-antiplasmin has been measured by aid of a chromogenic tripepetide substrate. Low values in patients' plasmas are found in situations with increased fibrinolysis such as streptokinase therapy and liver cirrhosis, whereas high values are found postoperatively, postpartum and after an acute thrombosis.
