pathological fibrinolysis
see primary fibrinolysis (below).
primary fibrinolysis
occurs with an excess of activators or decreased plasma inhibitors that cause hyperplasminemia, as in severe liver disease, heat stroke and malignancy.
secondary fibrinolysis
is a response to the widespread formation of microthrombi as in disseminated intravascular coagulation.
