[HTML][HTML] Arthritis is linked to local and systemic activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis pathways
AK So, PA Varisco, B Kemkes-Matthes… - Journal of Thrombosis …, 2003 - Elsevier
Background: Activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis play a role in the pathophysiology of
experimental arthritis. Objective: To determine the extent of activation of the coagulation and
fibrinolytic pathways in different joint diseases in humans and to ascertain the factors that
may influence fibrin deposition within the joint. Methods: Plasma from normal subjects
(controls, n= 21) and plasma and synovial fluid samples from patients with rheumatoid
arthritis (RA; n= 64), osteoarthritis (OA; n= 29), spondyloarthropathy (SpA; n= 22) and crystal …
