Abstract
Estimations of serum plasmin and antiplasmin were carried out in 43 cases of rheumatoid arthritis and 38 control cases. Serum antiplasmin levels were found to be increased in rheumatoid arthritis and to vary with the severity of the disease. Serum plasmin levels appeared to be reduced in rheumatoid arthritis, but were unrelated to the state of the disease as expressed by sedimentation rate.Keywords
