[Experimental investigations on the effect of various doses of streptokinase on blood viscosity (author's transl)]. 1977

F Ambrosch, and L Benda, and L Redtenbacher

The decrease in blood viscosity induced by streptokinase (SK) in the present investigation in proportional to the streptokinase concentration up to a concentration of 2000 IE/ml blood. A maximum decrease in viscosity is attained with a dosage of between 200 and 300 IE/ml blood. The decrease in viscosity is already clearly detectable at 10 minutes at all investigated doses and is completed after 20 to 30 minutes. An increase in SK resistance delays the decrease in viscosity. Prevention of the decrease, however, only seems to occur with a very high SK resistance and a very low SK dosage (50 IE/ml blood). The optimum dosage of SK to achieve a maximum decrease in viscosity is 200 IE/ml blood.

D001809 Blood Viscosity The internal resistance of the BLOOD to shear forces. The in vitro measure of whole blood viscosity is of limited clinical utility because it bears little relationship to the actual viscosity within the circulation, but an increase in the viscosity of circulating blood can contribute to morbidity in patients suffering from disorders such as SICKLE CELL ANEMIA and POLYCYTHEMIA.

D013300 Streptokinase Streptococcal fibrinolysin . An enzyme produced by hemolytic streptococci. It hydrolyzes amide linkages and serves as an activator of plasminogen. It is used in thrombolytic therapy and is used also in mixtures with streptodornase (STREPTODORNASE AND STREPTOKINASE). EC 3.4.-.
