    Notes: Summary In 50 patients without renal insufficiency, fibrinolytic activity, as reflected by euglobulin lysis time, was determined in blood obtained from the renal veins, the renal artery and a peripheral vein. Fibrinolytic activity was found to be significantly higher in the renal veins than in the renal artery and the peripheral vein. Other coagulation and fibrinolysis parameters did not show such differences. In addition, a patient with acute oligoanuric renal failure was investigated. This patient demonstrated reduced overall fibrinolytic activity, but there were no differences between the activity in the blood of the renal veins and that of the renal artery or peripheral vein. It seems, therefore, that the kidneys release plasminogen activators into the systemic circulation. This may be decreased in renal failure, probably contributing to the well-known diminished fibrinolysis in some kidney diseases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 32 Patienten mit schwerer, therapieresistenter Hypertonie wurden unter der antihypertensive Therapie mit dem Angiotensin-converting-enzyme-inhibitor Captopril systematische Blutgerinnungsuntersuchungen durchgeführt. Bereits 2 h nach Therapiebeginn kam es zu einem Anstieg von Fibrinmonomerkomplexen, der nach 26 h und nach 1 Woche noch ausgeprägter war. Bei Kontrolluntersuchungen nach 6 bzw. 12 Monaten waren die Fibrinmonomere wieder weitgehend normalisiert. Bei einigen Patienten mit deutlichem Fibrinmonomeranstieg verkürzte sich zeitweise auch die PTT. Zusätzlich fand sich ein Anstieg der Antiplasminaktivität. Zu dem deutlichsten Anstieg der Fibrinmonomere kam es vor allem bei schneller und ausgeprägter Blutdrucksenkung. Bei 15 gesunden Normalpersonen stiegen ebenfalls die Fibrinmonomere nach einer einmaligen Captoprildosis von 25 mg an. Zusätzlich verkürzte sich die PTT und das Antiplasmin stieg an. Mit Fibrinplatten und der Bestimmung von Thrombengewichten konnte durch Captopril eine Hemmung der Fibrinolyse nachgewiesen werden. Sieben von 58 Patienten mit schwerer Hyptertonie und Atherosklerose erlitten unter der Captopriltherapie schwere vaskuläre Komplikationen: Myokardinfarkt (n=2), coronare Insuffizienz (1), cerebrale Ischämie (1), zunehmende Niereninsuffizienz (3). Durch die gefundenen Blutgerinnungsveränderungen könnten diese Komplikationen bei Patienten mit schwerer Hypertonie begünstigt sein.
    Notes: Summary Systematic blood coagulation analyses were conducted in 32 severely hypertensive patients treated with the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril. Two hours after the first captopril dose, fibrin monomer complexes had already increased. This rise was even more distinct after 26 h and 1 week. Tests after 6 and 12 months of therapy showed a regression of fibrin monomer complexes to pretreatment values. In several patients with a marked increase in fibrin monomer complexes, the partial thromboplastin time (PTT) became shorter and antiplasmin activity increased. The most pronounced increase in fibrin monomer complexes was seen in patients with a rapid and excessive blood pressure reduction. The concentration of fibrin monomer complexes also rose in 15 healthy normotensive subjects, after a single oral dose of captopril (25 mg). Additionally, the PTT was shortened and antiplasmin significantly rose. An inhibition of fibrinolysis by captopril could be demonstrated by the effect on fibrin plates and thrombus weight after streptokinase. Out of 58 patients with severe hypertension and atherosclerosis treated with captopril, 7 patients suffered vascular complications during antihypertensive therapy: myocardial infarction (n=2), coronary insufficiency (1), cerebral ischemia (1), renal insufficiency (3). These ischemic lesions may be partly explained by the alterations of coagulation and fibrinolysis under captopril therapy.

    Notes: Summary Low-molecular-weight (LMW) heparin has been compared to standard unfractionated (UF) heparin in a total of 49 patients on hemodialysis and hemofiltration in order to determine the necessary therapeutic dose and its effect on the coagulation system. A LMW heparin dose corresponding to 50% of the normal UF heparin dose was found to produce similar plasma heparin levels (anti-FXa-U/ml) in particular on minimal heparinization. At higher doses, UF heparin produced a more marked increase in plasma-heparin than did LMW heparin. Highly significant differences were found between UF and LMW heparin in their effects on PTT and thrombin time. Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) increased under UF heparin by an average of 120 s whereas LMW heparin only produced an increase of 5–7 s. Thrombin time was increased by 250–280 s under UF heparin and by 5–8 s under LMW heparin. With this LMW heparin dose of 50% of the UF heparin dose, no thrombosis of the extracorporal system occurred and no macroscopic detectable thrombotic material was found in the dialyzers or filters. No significant differences were observed between the effects of UF and LMW heparin on Factor VIII activity and fibrin monomers, so that a difference in coagulation activation between the two heparins can be excluded. Furthermore, there were no changes in thromboplastin time according to Quick, fibrinogen, antithrombin III, plasminogen, and a2-antiplasmin. Thus effective Anti-FXa levels and by similar antithrombotic activity, LMW heparin will probably present less of a bleeding risk because of its reduced effect on PTT and thrombin time. LMW heparin therefore appears to be a good alternative to UF heparin for patients with renal insufficiency requiring dialysis. LMW heparin is indicated in particular in patients at bleeding risk, with diabetic retinopathy, on therapy with oral anticoagulants or platelet aggregation inhibitors, and with thrombocytopenia.

    Notes: Summary The validity of the fibrin(ogen) derivatives ‘soluble fibrin, D-dimers and fibrin(ogen) degradation products’ was compared with other parameters in early and sensitive diagnosing of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). In a clinical study 900 patients' samples from separate, defined groups were examined, including course observations of intensive care patients (n=38) and patients with acute pancreatitis. The fibrin(ogen) derivatives correlated very well with the degree of blood coagulation disturbances: in particular, D-dimers and soluble fibrin proved to be more sensitive in early diagnosis of DIC than other parameters. The SF-PS-turbidimetry demonstrated a good validity and practicality in the quantitative determination of soluble fibrin, but a suitable analyzer is essential. Determination of D-dimers is preferable to that of fibrin(ogen) degradation products (both in the latex-agglutination test) because of the better sensitivity and practicality; even more sensitive results were provided by the D-dimer-ELISA, which is, however, not practical in acute diagnostics. The decrease in protein C was at least equally sensitive as the antithrombin III-levels in indicating the consumption of the hemostatic potential. The decrease of thrombocyte counts and fibrinogen levels could first be detected in a later stage of DIC. In conclusion, D-dimers and soluble fibrin can improve the DIC diagnostics, making them more reliable; additionally, antithrombin III and possibly protein C deserve further consideration, although the fibrin(ogen) derivatives are apparently of greater importance.
