[Thromboelastographic and immunologic fibrinolysis determinations in inflammatory-changed and artificial blood stained cerebrospinal fluids using fibrinogen substrate].

In in-vitro long-term tests, the free fibrinolytic activity was determined from inflammatory-changed and blood stained cerebrospinal fluids in which partly fibrinogen concentrations insufficient for the enzyme-catalysed fibrinolytic reaction were present, using after addition of substrate (fibrinogen, plasma) thrombelastography and fibrin degradation products (FDP) recording. The results confirm a free fibrinolytic activity in many inflammatory-changed and blood stained cerebrospinal fluids. The difference in the results obtained with reaction preparations with substrate and those with too low fibrinogen concentrations are discussed.
