Abstract
Coagulation activation and depressed fibrinolysis are recognised thrombogenic pathways of primary and systemic lupus erythematosus related antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), though their relation with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) is uncertain [1–3]: once generated, thrombin interacts with thrombomodulin to accelerate almost 1000 fold the activation of thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) activity that depresses fibrinolysis by removing the C-terminal lysine residues from fibrin and prevent the binding of plasminogen and tissue plasminogen activator to the fibrin clot [4].File in questo prodotto:
