D-dimer is a soluble fibrin degradation product that results from ordered breakdown of
thrombi by the fibrinolytic system. Numerous studies have shown that D-dimer serves as a …

Fibrin plays an essential role in hemostasis as both the primary product of the coagulation
cascade and the ultimate substrate for fibrinolysis. Fibrinolysis efficiency is greatly …

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are the most common
manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Most DVTs affect the lower-extremity …

Limited studies with relatively small sample sizes have reported that elevated d-dimer levels
on admission were associated with increased risk of short-term mortality in patients with type …

Objective High altitude (HA), with the main feature of hypobaric hypoxia, is an independent
risk factor for thrombosis. However, little is known on the alterations of fibrinolytic system in …

Despite the outstanding advances made over the past decade regarding our knowledge of
acute leukemia (AL), relapsed AL remains to be associated with a dismal prognosis. A better …

This chapter will focus on the use of fibrin for peripheral nerve repair and regeneration.
Important basic aspects of fibrinogen and fibrin will be summarized to elucidate the role of …

Background Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication in patients with
traumatic injury. The purpose of this study was to develop a potential predictor of DVT …

Background and Aims Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is an important
treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU). Nevertheless, the outcome of CRRT remains …

Background D-dimer measurement improves the rule-out of thromboembolic disease.
