Significance of plasma soluable thrombomodulin in type 2 diabetic patients / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Proteins in coagulative and fibrinolytic systems were measured in 50 type 2 diabetic patients and 50 normal controls. Proteins related with fibrinolytic system in the diabetic patients were significantly higher than those in normal controls. The concentration of soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) was negatively correlated with the activity of protein C and positively correlated with plasmin-? 2 -antiplasmin complex in type 2 diabetic patients, suggesting that the increase of sTM is associated with hypercoagulability and enhanced fibrinolysis.
