Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previously, we demonstrated that hypofibrinolysis, a decreased capacity to dissolve a blood clot as measured with an overall clot lysis assay, increases the risk of venous thrombosis. Here, we investigated the combined effect of hypofibrinolysis with established risk factors associated with hypercoagulability. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Fibrinolytic potential was determined with a plasma-based clot lysis...
