[Proteinase inhibitors and fibrinogen split products in patients with malignant diseases (author's transl)]. 1981

H P Schwarz, and P Aiginger, and R Kuzmits

Fibrinogen degradation products could be detected frequently in patients with metastasized tumour disease. Plasminogen, antithrombin III and fibrinogen were not found to be elevated. The proteinase inhibitors alpha 2-macroglobulin, alpha 1-antitrypsin and C1-esterase inactivator were measured before and after chemotherapy. alpha 1-antitrypsin and C1-esterase inactivator were elevated in patients with pulmonary and/or retroperitoneal metastases. Regardless of the stage of the tumour disease serum level of alpha 1-antitrypsin and C1-esterase inactivator in increased under cytotoxic chemotherapy.

D008297	Male		Males
D009101	Multiple Myeloma	A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures. Other features include ANEMIA; HYPERCALCEMIA; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.

D009362	Neoplasm Metastasis	The transfer of a neoplasm from one organ or part of the body to another remote from the primary site.	Metastase,Metastasis,Metastases, Neoplasm,Metastasis, Neoplasm,Neoplasm Metastases,Metastases
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.

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.

D005340	Fibrinogen	Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.

D000511	alpha-Macroglobulins	Glycoproteins with a molecular weight of approximately 620,000 to 680,000. Precipitation by electrophoresis is in the alpha region. They include alpha 1-macroglobulins and alpha 2-macroglobulins. These proteins exhibit trypsin-, chymotrypsin-, thrombin-, and plasmin-binding activity and function as hormonal transporters.
