Quantitative assay for fibrin monomer was done by use of a chromogenic substrate (S-2390, Coa set fibrin monomer). Samples from DIC prone patients with the underlying disease were assayed and classified into four groups. The pre DIC group showed higher FM values than the control with no laboratory coagulation abnormality, although the FDP . D-dimer showed no significant rise. FM assay is a useful marker for the detection of early coagulopathy in DIC. Administration of the AT III concentrate in the case of low level of plasma ATIII, thrombin . antithrombin complex I (TAT) caused a significant transient rise. The clinical course of DIC by TAT is often affected by the fluctuation of ATIII level in plasma, the usefulness of FM is that it reflects the real thrombin generation in DIC.

Background: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is the primary intervention for treating symptomatic hyperviscosity from hypergammaglobulinemia, yet its efficacy for treating hyperviscosity related to hyperfibrinogenemia is unclear.
Objectives: Define the safety and efficacy of TPE for critically ill COVID-19 patients with elevated blood viscosity from hyperfibrinogenemia.
Methods: We performed a prospective randomized controlled trial in critically ill COVID-19 patients in a single US healthcare system.

The therapeutic effects of oral anticoagulant drugs for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) suggest that the three factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors may have distinct safety profiles, though this is not yet fully conclusive. This study investigated the current dosing of rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban by monitoring drug plasma concentration (PC) and coagulation activity from the viewpoint of the safety. This multicenter clinical study monitored the drug PC and two coagulation biomarkers (fibrinogen and fibrin monomer complex [FMC]) at peak and trough timing in 268 outpatients taking rivaroxaban (n = 72), apixaban (n = 71), and edoxaban (n = 125) for NVAF.

Introduction: Thrombosis is a major complication of COVID-19. D-dimer (DD) is an important coagulation fibrinolysis marker in COVID-19 and has been extensively studied. However, very little is known about the role of other fibrinolysis markers, plasmin-plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), and fibrin monomer complex (FMC) in COVID-19.

Background And Objectives: This prospective study was conducted at the University Hospital NAO "MUS" (Semey Medical University, Non-Profit Joint-Stock Company (NCJSC) of Semey, Kazakhstan. The objective of our investigation was to delineate potential risk factors associated with coagulopathy among patients presenting with mechanical jaundice.
Materials And Methods: One hundred eighty-six patients who underwent surgical procedures between October 2020 and September 2022 in Semey, located in East Kazakhstan, were included in this study.
