Proteins and fibrinolysis in recipients of renal allografts.

Studies of serum proteins, platelets, and fibrinolysis in patients after renal allografting show that a fall in plasma fibrinogen in the postoperative period can be associated with early rejection and that a rise in serum fibrin degradation products when accompanied by a fall in platelets is associated with rejection. Fibrinolysis is depressed in these patients until two months after transplantation and marked depression of fibrinolysis may precede rejection. The late coincidence of fibrinolytic depression with a rise in fibrin degradation products suggests chronic insidious rejection.

Study of proteins and fibrinolysis in patients with glomerulonephritis.

Plasma and urine fibrinolysis were studied in 36 patients with glomerulonephritis and proteinuria. In 40% of these plasma fibrinolytic activator activity was moderately reduced and fibrinolytic inhibitors were increased. Globulins with antiplasmin effect were raised, particularly in the earlier months. Both the serum cholesterol and the plasma fibrinogen were related to the level of serum albumin, and those patients with high fibrinogen levels were also those with poor plasma fibrinolytic activator and those showing a steady deterioration. Urinary fibrinolysis was greatly reduced in most patients and bore no relation to plasma fibrinolysis levels. Hence urokinase is not derived from circulating plasminogen activator.
