title: Reference values of hemostasis related factors of healthy Japanese adults. I: Circadian fluctuation.
abstract: The circadian fluctuation of hemostasis related parameters was examined on 16 healthy Japanese adults (male 9, female 7). Twenty one parameters were measured in this study, i.e. fibrinogen, the activity of F.II, F.V., F.VII, F.VIII, F.IX, F.X., F.XI, F.XII, antithrombin III, plasminogen, alpha 2-antiplasmin, as well as the antigen level of F.IX, von Willebrand Factor, protein C, tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), beta-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, fibrinopeptide A, plasmin-alpha 2-antiplasmin complex and FDP. Fluctuation was not significant in almost all of the parameters except F.VIII, F.IX, beta-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, tPA and PAI-1. Although the fluctuations of F.VIII, F.IX, beta-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 were statistically significant, they remained within the normal ranges. On the other hand, tPA and free PAI-1 showed significant circadian fluctuation, of which levels were highest at 9:00. It was postulated that the significant circadian fluctuation of fibrinolytic activity will be regulated by the balance between tPA and PAI-1 in plasma.
