Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a severe acute respiratory syndrome, coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), leading to acute tissue injury and an overstated immune response. In COVID-19, there are noteworthy changes in the fibrinolytic system with the development of coagulopathy. Therefore, modulation of the fibrinolytic system may affect the course of COVID-19. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an anti-fibrinolytic drug that reduces the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, which is necessary for SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. In addition, TXA has anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet, and anti-thrombotic effects, which may attenuate the COVID-19 severity. Thus, in this narrative review, we try to find the beneficial and harmful effects of TXA in COVID-19.
新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是由严重急性呼吸系统综合征,冠状病毒 2 型(SARS-CoV-2)引起的,导致急性组织损伤和过度的免疫反应。在 COVID-19 中,随着凝血功能障碍的发展,纤维蛋白溶解系统发生显著变化。因此,纤维蛋白溶解系统的调节可能会影响 COVID-19 的病程。氨甲环酸(TXA)是一种抗纤维蛋白溶解药物,可减少纤溶酶原转化为纤溶酶,这对于 SARS-CoV-2 的感染性是必需的。此外,TXA 具有抗炎、抗血小板和抗血栓形成的作用,可能减轻 COVID-19 的严重程度。因此,在这篇叙述性综述中,我们试图寻找 TXA 在 COVID-19 中的有益和有害作用。
