Determination of spontaneous plasma fibrinolysis by a practical procedure

Abstract

IN a recent review I analysed present aspects and principles of the various methods that are generally used for assessing the phenomenon of proteolysis in the blood. The extensive significance of in vitro determination of whole plasma spontaneous fibrinolysis, which expresses a more faithful and exact picture of the evolution of the fibrinolytic mechanism in the circulating blood, was emphasized1. © 1961 Nature Publishing Group
