thrombin clotting time
alpha 2-antiplasmin and alpha 2-macroglobulin inactivate plasmin. plasmin activity is also reduced by thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (tafi), which modifies fibrin to make it more resistant to the tpa-mediated plasminogen.

when plasmin breaks down fibrin, a number of soluble parts are produced. these are called fibrin degradation products (fdps). fdps compete with thrombin, and thus slow down clot formation by preventing the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. this effect can be seen in the thrombin clotting time (tct) test, which is prolonged in a person that has active fibrinolysis.

fibrinolysis









































fibrinolysis is a process that prevents blood clots from growing and becoming problematic. this process has two types: primary fibrinolysis and secondary fibrinolysis. the primary type is a normal body process, whereas secondary fibrinolysis is the breakdown of clots due to a medicine, a medical disorder, or some other cause.









































in fibrinolysis, a fibrin clot, the product of coagulation, is broken down. its main enzyme plasmin cuts the fibrin mesh at various places, leading to the production of circulating fragments that are cleared by other proteases or by the kidney and liver.
