Abstract
NORMAL blood contains the mechanism of fibrinolysis that is responsible for the dissolution of blood clots. The fibrinolytic process has attracted extensive interest because of both its physiologic activity in the human organism and its abnormal activity in various clinical states. The purposes of the case report and discussion that comprise this presentation are twofold: to emphasize that a deficiency in factor V as well as fibrinogen exists during extensive fibrinolysis in the human being; and to suggest that therapy in hypofibrinogenemia due to fibrinolysis differs from that in conditions associated with intravascular coagulation and defibrination.Case ReportA 63-year-old . . .
