Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) has distinct fibrinolytic phenotypes based on viscoelastic testing. The underlying mechanisms behind differences in fibrinolytic responses to trauma are unclear. We hypothesized that plasma proteins crosslinked into fibrin clots by the transglutaminase activity of factor XIII (FXIII) may explain tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) responsiveness observed in...
