Question 21 Answer

Home ยป Question 21 Answer

Correct answer = A. Alteplase.

Alteplase has a low affinity for free plasminogen in the plasma, but it rapidly activates plasminogen that is bound to fibrin in a thrombus or a hemostatic plug.

It has the advantage of lysing only fibrin, without unwanted degradation of other proteins (notably fibrinogen).
