Thrombin-antithrombin-III complexes (TAT) & D-dimer in plasma, and fibrin(ogen) degradation products (FDP) in serum, were measured in 48 patients subjected to total hip arthroplasty. Blood samples were collected on days -1, 0, 1, 3, 7 and 10. Five patients developed postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) diagnosed by venography. A characteristic pattern of TAT and D-dimer secondary to surgery was demonstrated. A poor correlation was found between ELISA- and latex-D-dimer concentrations after the operation. Patients with DVT had significantly higher TAT-levels preoperatively, and on day 0, 7 and 10. The concentration of FDP was significantly elevated in patients with DVT on day 7 and that of ELISA D-dimer on days 0 & 10. None of the assays are clinically valuable for purposes of postoperative screening for DVT. The preoperative plasma TAT concentration may represent a valuable predictive marker of postoperative DVT.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005338 Fibrin Fibrinogen Degradation Products Soluble protein fragments formed by the proteolytic action of plasmin on fibrin or fibrinogen. FDP and their complexes profoundly impair the hemostatic process and are a major cause of hemorrhage in intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis.
