To investigate the relationship between changes in plasma concentrations of polymorphonuclear elastase (PMN-E) and haemostatic effects during haemodialysis (HD), changes in the plasma concentrations of elastase-alpha 1 proteinase inhibitor complex (E-alpha 1 PI) and fibrinogen (Fbg), cross-linked fibrin degradation products (XDP), thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT), plasmin-alpha 2 plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC) and soluble thrombomodulin (TM) in 49 patients with end-stage chronic glomerulonephritis maintained on chronic HD were measured. Plasma concentrations of TAT, PIC, TM and E-alpha 1 PI significantly increased during a single HD. There was a statistically significant correlation between change in plasma E-alpha 1 PI concentration and changes in plasma concentrations of TAT, PIC and TM during a single HD, as well as between changes in plasma concentrations of TM and TAT during a single HD. These observations suggested that activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis, endothelial cell damage, and activation of polymorphonuclear cells occur during HD. Activation of polymorphonuclear cells may induce activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis, leading to endothelial cell damage, augmented by release of proteases such as elastase.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D010196 Pancreatic Elastase A protease of broad specificity, obtained from dried pancreas. Molecular weight is approximately 25,000. The enzyme breaks down elastin, the specific protein of elastic fibers, and digests other proteins such as fibrin, hemoglobin, and albumin. EC 3.4.21.36.

D001772 Blood Cell Count The number of LEUKOCYTES and ERYTHROCYTES per unit volume in a sample of venous BLOOD. A complete blood count (CBC) also includes measurement of the HEMOGLOBIN; HEMATOCRIT; and ERYTHROCYTE INDICES.

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.
