Peritoneal fluid plasminogen activator activity in endometriosis and pelvic adhesive disease.

Abstract:

:Plasminogen activator activity in PF was assayed by the fibrinolysis method described by Strickland and Beers. In 45 patients studied, there were no discernible differences according to whether patients had endometriosis and/or pelvic adhesive disease. No differences were detected according to when in the menstrual cycle the sample of PF was obtained. These data are in concordance with a previous report and taken together suggest that there is no difference in fibrinolytic mechanisms in PF in patients with or without endometriosis and/or pelvic adhesive disease, when compared with control subjects. If such differences exist, they may be present in the tissues, per se, but are not discernible in PF.
