The fibrinolytic enzyme system in hypertension.

Fibrinogen, fibrinogen-related antigen (FR-antigen), and components of the fibrinolytic enzyme system were measured in patients with essential hypertension, renal disease with and without hypertension, and normal subjects. Essential hypertension was associated with a decrease in plasminogen activator and an increase in FR-antigen. In renal disease these changes were accompanied by increases in plasminogen activation inhibitor, alpha(2)-macroglobulin, alpha(1)-antitrypsin, and fibrinogen.

Platelet adhesiveness, coagulation, and fibrinolytic activity in obesity.

In a study of 41 fasting subjects it was confirmed that fibrinolytic activity was reduced in obese persons: an increase in fibrinogen was also associated with obesity. There was no correlation between obesity and the platelet count, platelet adhesiveness to glass, the level of serum fibrin degradation products, or the whole blood clotting time in plastic tubes.
