LYMPH COAGULATION AND FIBRINOLYTIC ACTIVITY
The authors discuss their findings and published data on the role of formed and other elements of the blood in the formation of the lymph system, composition and characteristics of the lymph. The lymph and interstitial liquid contains all without exception blood clotting and fibrinolysis factors. The lymph is clotting slower than the blood, but its fibrinolysis is more intense due to a lower level of fibrinogen. The data indicate a close relationship between the blood, lymph, and interstitial liquid clotting processes.
