TY - JOUR T1 - A rapid screening test for reduced fibrinolytic activity of plasma: streptokinase activated lysis time. JF - Journal of Clinical Pathology JO - J Clin Pathol SP - 54 LP - 57 DO - 10.1136/jcp.31.1.54 VL - 31 IS - 1 AU - E Gidron AU - R Margalit AU - Y Shalitin Y1 - 1978/01/01 UR - http://jcp.bmj.com/content/31/1/54.abstract N2 - A simple screening method for determining the fibrinolytic activity of plasma is described. A streptokinase activated system is used, which measures the result of the interplay of all components of the fibrinolytic system with the exception of activators, which are added in excess. Mean lysis time and standard deviation with this method is 6.9 +/- 1.4 min. The sensitivity of the method in detecting minor delays in clot lysis time is demonstrated. ER -
