Q

Hereditary plasminogen deficiency types

A

TYPE 1 = deficiency of plasminogen antigen and activity TYPE 2 = normal antigen level but reduced activity (dysplasminogenemia)

31
Q

Plasminogen activation primarily inhibited by

A

PAI-1 PAI -1 reduces lifetime of plasminogen activators

32
Q

Lysine analogues that block plaminogen activity

A

aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid bind to protein lysyl residues prevent binding to plasminogen

A

Prevent plasmin activity beyond locale of fibrin deposition plasmin activity slower with alpha 2 antiplasmin than when free in solution
