Adaption of the plasmin generation assay to enhance sensitivity to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and establishment of sex-specific reference values in human plasma [PDF]
Research and Practice in Thrombosis and HaemostasisBackground: Pharmacologic modifiers of fibrinolysis are used to modulate bleeding and thrombosis. Characterization of a sensitive plasmin generation (PG) assay to identify abnormal fibrinolytic states and monitor antifibrinolytic medication may improve ...
