[The kinetics of plasma coagulation fibrinolysis levels in acute myocardial infarction before and after treatment with intravenous urokinase].

The levels of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) and other substances of coagulation-fibrinolysis, such as fibronectin (Fn) and von willebrand factor (vWF) as well as the activity content of antithrombin-III(AT-III) in plasma were determined in 20 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In 11 of them these measurements were carried out before and after the treatment with urokinase (UK1000 000 IU). The results suggested that the function of coagulation-fibrinolytic system was disturbed in AMI. Thrombolytic treatment with UK could interfere and improve the stabilization of fibrinolytic activity in the body, but these actions last only short time. Some substances of coagulation showed change with UK treatment.
