Explain how protamine reverses heparin?
Definition
Protamine a positively charged acid combines electrostatically with heparin a negatively charged base creating a neutralization reaction.

Term
What breaks down clots after the clot is stabilized?
Definition
Plasmin
Term
How is Plasminogen activated to Plasmin
Definition
Plasminogen is synthesized in the liver and circulates in the blood. It is incorporated into the clot when it is formed. tPA and uPA convert plasminogen to plasmin, and plasmin breaks down fibrin.
Term

Definition
Tissue Type Plasminogen Activator (tPA)

Urokinase Plasminogen actovator (uPA)

Definition
Inhibits plasmin, therefore the fibrin that is formed breaks down slowly and bleeding is decreased.

May cause renal dysfunction
Allergic Reaction after first dose
