title: Urokinase-induced fibrin clot lysis and its inhibition by plasma.
abstract: The kinetics of the urokinase-induced plasmin digestion of fibrin clots has been studied. Some theoretical aspects on the kinetics of the underlying enzyme reactions are presented. It is shown that the clot-lysis time may be used to measure the relative amounts of fibrinolysis inhibitors in plasma.
