Abstract

Over activity of the fibrinolytic system (hyperfibrinolysis) occurs in cirrhosis and has been shown to correlate with the risk of variceal hemorrhage. We have developed a model for assessing acute tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) release in vivo in man. The aims of the study were to assess the contribution of basal and stimulated t-PA release to hyperfibrinolysis in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis.
