title: The fibrinolytic activity of isolated rat glomeruli by fibrin slide technique. Its application to rat Masugi nephritis.
abstract: A method for measurement of rat glomerular fibrinolysis and the results of its application to rat Masugi nephritis are described. The glomerular fibrinolytic activity was measured on isolated glomeruli using a fibrin slide technique. The procedure of this method is simple and the results obtained have a good reproducibility. By applying this method to rat Masugi nephritis, sequential changes in glomerular fibrinolytic activity could be assessed. A decrease in glomerular fibrinolytic activity that was related to the extent of fibrin deposits in the glomeruli was demonstrated in the autologous phase.
