A prospective longitudinal study was conducted to determine whether single-donor fresh frozen plasma (FFP) substitution was able to influence L-asparaginase-associated hypoproteinemia. Within a 36-month period, 20 of 42 children with ALL received a total of 42 prophylactic FFP doses at a median of 10 (5-20) mliter/kg when fibrinogen levels decreased to < 60 mg/dL and thrombin time was lengthened. Laboratory monitoring before, during and after FFP substitution showed no short-term improvements and demonstrated only a minimal increase in fibrinogen and alpha 2-antiplasmin. Plasma levels of antithrombin and plasminogen remained unchanged. Furthermore, administration of FFP had no influence on thrombin generation, the plasmin/alpha 2-antiplasmin complex or enhanced D-dimer formation.

D010949 Plasma The residual portion of BLOOD that is left after removal of BLOOD CELLS by CENTRIFUGATION without prior BLOOD COAGULATION.

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.

D011486 Protein C A vitamin-K dependent zymogen present in the blood, which, upon activation by thrombin and thrombomodulin exerts anticoagulant properties by inactivating factors Va and VIIIa at the rate-limiting steps of thrombin formation.
D001778 Blood Coagulation Disorders Hemorrhagic and thrombotic disorders that occur as a consequence of abnormalities in blood coagulation due to a variety of factors such as COAGULATION PROTEIN DISORDERS; BLOOD PLATELET DISORDERS; BLOOD PROTEIN DISORDERS or nutritional conditions.

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.

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.

D000933 Antifibrinolytic Agents Agents that prevent fibrinolysis or lysis of a blood clot or thrombus. Several endogenous antiplasmins are known. The drugs are used to control massive hemorrhage and in other coagulation disorders.

D000979 alpha-2-Antiplasmin A member of the serpin superfamily found in plasma that inhibits the lysis of fibrin clots which are induced by plasminogen activator. It is a glycoprotein, molecular weight approximately 70,000 that migrates in the alpha 2 region in immunoelectrophoresis. It is the principal plasmin inactivator in blood, rapidly forming a very stable complex with plasmin. alpha 2-Plasmin Inhibitor,Serpin F2,alpha(2)-Plasmin Inhibitor,alpha-2 Antiplasmin,alpha 2 Antiplasmin,alpha 2 Plasmin Inhibitor
