Activation of Fibrinolysis and of Plasma-Kinin System during Venostasis*

Summary

In the plasma of stasis blood, fibrinolytic activity increases as a result of the enrichment of this blood by fibrinolysis activators of tissue origin. With the increase in fibrinolytic activity an increase in kallikrein and a temporary release of plasma kinin occurs. Plasma kallikrein, activated in the stasis blood through fibrinolysis activation on application of a manometric cuff retains its activity and may play some role in the lowering of blood pressure when the cuff is removed.
