fibrinolysis
/ˌfʌɪbrɪˈnɒlɪsɪs
/ /ˌfɪbrɪˈnɒlɪsɪs/noun [mass noun] Physiology
The enzymatic breakdown of the fibrin in blood clots.Molecular markers related to hemostasis and fibrinolysis consist of proteins or peptides that indicate an ongoing physiological or abnormal process related to clot formation, thrombosis, vascular damage, or drug effect....
- Increasing stomach pH in patients with an acute bleeding peptic ulcer will enhance platelet function and inhibit fibrinolysis, but do these actions result in better patient outcomes?
- This includes the use of erythropoietin, surgical techniques that minimise blood loss, and drugs that inhibit fibrinolysis; greater degrees of anaemia are tolerated, and phlebotomy undertaken for diagnostic testing is minimal.

- This literature mainly comprises the variation in genes for blood coagulation factors, inhibitors, fibrinolytic factors and platelet membrane receptors.
- Acute infections that alter hemodynamics and fibrinolytic systems can trigger an ischemic event.
- Hemostasis involves the integration of many procoagulant proteins, natural anticoagulants, fibrinolytic proteins, and platelet surface glycoproteins.
