Effects of fibrinogen concentrate, factor XIII, and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor on clot firmness and fibrinolytic resistance in the model of hyperfibrinolysis

Keywords: fibrinogen; factor XIII; thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor; hyperfibrinolysis.

Abstract

Aim. To investigate effects of fibrinogen concentrate, factor XIII, and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) on clot formation and fibrinolytic resistance using an in vitro model of hyperfibrinolysis. Methods. Citrated whole blood from 24 adult healthy volunteers was supplemented with fibrinogen concentrate, factor XIII, and/or TAFI. Fibrinolysis was induced by tissue plasminogen activator. Clotting was induced by recalcification and addition of tissue factor and monitored using rotation thromboelastometry. Results. Induction of fibrinolysis did not affect clotting time and the rate of clot formation but significantly reduced the maximum clot firmness and caused lysis of a clot. Addition of fibrinogen concentrate to blood reduced the rate of clot lysis without affecting clot firmness or lysis onset time; addition of factor XIII improved clot firmness and reduced clot lysis rate without affecting lysis onset time; TAFI improved clot firmness and considerably delayed the onset of clot lysis thereby providing the greatest antifibrinolytic effect. Conclusion. Fibrinogen concentrate, factor XIII, and TAFI may potentially serve as an alternative to traditional antifibrinolytic agents and be beneficial for the treatment of patients with hyperfibrinolysis.
