[High-altitude pulmonary hypertension and fibrinolysis]. 1976

M Kh Bobokhodzhaev, and F A Chernaia

The fibrinolytic system of the blood was studied in 49 indigenous residents at an altitude of 3600 m above sea level having signs of altitude pulmonary hypertension, and in 48 persons without such signs. The control group comprised 70 residents of Dushanbe (810 m above sea level). Persons with altitude pulmonary hypertension were found to have an increased fibrinolytic activity, a reduced content of antiplasmins and inhibitors of plasminogen activation. These changes are combined with a reduction of the fibrinogen content and a decrease in the activity of the fibrin-stabilizing factor. No principal difference was found in the fibrinolytic system of comparable groups having signs of altitude pulmonary hypertension, and without such signs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006976 Hypertension, Pulmonary Increased VASCULAR RESISTANCE in the PULMONARY CIRCULATION, usually secondary to HEART DISEASES or LUNG DISEASES. Pulmonary Hypertension
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010958 Plasminogen Precursor of plasmin (FIBRINOLYSIN). It is a single-chain beta-globulin of molecular weight 80-90,000 found mostly in association with fibrinogen in plasma; plasminogen activators change it to fibrinolysin. It is used in wound debriding and has been investigated as a thrombolytic agent.

D005341 Fibrinolysin A product of the lysis of plasminogen (profibrinolysin) by PLASMINOGEN activators. It is composed of two polypeptide chains, light (B) and heavy (A), with a molecular weight of 75,000. It is the major proteolytic enzyme involved in blood clot retraction or the lysis of fibrin and quickly inactivated by antiplasmins.
