FIGURE 2.

Analysis of fibrin degradation product (FDP) generation from clotting and lysis of fibrin over time using four methods. Concentrations of D‐dimer refer to the initial reaction mixture of 2.5 mg/ml fibrinogen clotted with thrombin in the presence of activated factor XIII (FXIIIa) and either tissue plasminogen activator (tPA; T) or urokinase (uPA; U) with glu‐plasminogen (G) or lys‐plasminogen (L). Time is presented on a log scale to see changes more easily at the four time points chosen
