Evidence that modifications of Lp(a) in vivo inhibit plasmin formation on fibrin--a study with individual plasmas presenting natural variations of Lp(a).

Abstract excerpt

In the present study we have investigated the effect of individual variations in the concentration of Lp(a) on plasmin formation at the surface of fibrin. The plasma Lp(a) concentrations from 20 nephrotic children were high at flare-up of the disease (0.43+/-0.45 g/l) and decreased progressively with remission at both 6 weeks (0.28+/-0.24 g/l) and 6 months (0.24+/-0.288 g/l). In contrast, the concentration of...
