fibrinoid necrosis |
Necrosis in which the necrotic tissue has some staining reactions resembling fibrin and becomes deeply eosinophilic, homogenous, and refractile. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
fibrinokinase |
Name proposed for the enzyme that converts plasminogen to plasmin; subsequently called urokinase, but now called plasminogen activator. Synonym: fibrinolysokinase. (05 Mar 2000) |
fibrinolysin |
Synonym: plasmin. (05 Mar 2000) |
fibrinolysis |
<haematology> Solubilisation of fibrin in blood clots, chiefly by the proteolytic action of plasmin. Origin: Gr. Lysis = dissolution (12 Nov 1997) |
fibrinolysokinase |
Name proposed for the enzyme that converts plasminogen to plasmin; subsequently called urokinase, but now called plasminogen activator. Synonym: fibrinolysokinase. (05 Mar 2000) |
fibrinolytic |
Pertaining to, characterised by or causing the dissolution of fibrin by enzymatic action Origin: Gr. Lysis = dissolution (18 Nov 1997) |
fibrinolytic agent |
Fibrinolysin or agents that convert plasminogen to fibrinolysin. They may be endogenous or exogenous like the bacterial enzymes used in thromboembolism. (12 Dec 1998) |
fibrinolytic purpura |
Purpura in which the bleeding is associated with rapid fibrinolysis of the clot. (05 Mar 2000) |
fibrinopeptide |
<protein> Very negatively charged peptide fragments cleaved from fibrinogen by thrombin. Two peptides (A and B) are produced from each fibrinogen molecule. A: This is released as a part of the clotting process. Increased levels may be seen in DIC, lupus, cellulitis and leukaemia. (09 Oct 1997) |
fibrinopeptide a |
Two small peptide chains removed from the n-terminal segment of the alpha chains of fibrinogen by the action of thrombin during the blood coagulation process. Each peptide chain contains 18 amino acid residues. In vivo, fibrinopeptide a is used as a marker to determine the rate of conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin by thrombin. (12 Dec 1998) |
fibrinopeptide b |
Two small peptide chains removed from the n-terminal segment of the beta chains of fibrinogen by the action of thrombin. Each peptide chain contains 20 amino acid residues. The removal of fibrinopeptides b is not required for coagulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
fibrinoplastic |
<physiology> Like fibrinoplastin; capable of forming fibrin when brought in contact with fibrinogen. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
fibrinoplastin |
<physiology> An albuminous substance, existing in the blood, which in combination with fibrinogen forms fibrin. Synonym: paraglobulin. Origin: Fibrin + Gr. To form, mold. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
fibrinopurulent |
Pertaining to pus or suppurative exudate that contains a relatively large amount of fibrin. (05 Mar 2000) |
fibrinopurulent inflammation |
A purulent inflammation in which the exudate contains an unusually large amount of fibrin; also, a fibrinous or serofibrinous inflammation in which the accumulation of large numbers of polymorphonuclear leukocytes results in liquefactive necrosis of tissue and the formation of pus with a relatively large quantity of fibrin. (05 Mar 2000) |
