- Test description
Plasminogen - a protein found in the blood that, under the influence of the tissue plasminogen activator transforms into plasmin, a substance with anticoagulant activity that acts by breakdown of the clot component - fibrin. The determination of plasminogen is performed in the diagnosis of thrombophilia (hypercoagulability, i.e disorders of various etiologies leading to clot formation) Thrombophilias can be acquired or congenital. As a result of formation of thrombophils may result in the restriction of the lumen of a blood vessel of a blood vessel or its closure and, consequently, ischemia of a of a specific organ or part of the body.
