Plasma soluble fibrin monomer complexes in the development of diabetic retinopathy. 1982

S Isogai, and K Kikuchi, and M Kameyama, and Y Oshima, and T Urayama, and M Komoto

To elucidate the relationship between plasma soluble fibrin monomer complexes (SFMC) and retinal or vitreous hemorrhages, 11 diabetics were studied for 15 months. The levels of SFMC in 3 out of the 11 cases were elevated prior to hemorrhages and in the other 8 cases SFMC levels were elevated after hemorrhages. With regard to fibrinogen (Fbg) concentrations, there was no significant difference between the values before and after hemorrhages. The plasma glucose levels did not change significantly during the observation. It was concluded that the SFMC level was not only an indicator of the intracapillary generation of thrombin but an important factor affecting the development of diabetic retinopathy.

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.
