Significance of serum complement levels in patients with gastrointestinal disease.

abstract：:The rate of digestion of fibrin was measured in vitro by an isotopic technique in 140 blood samples of differing fibrinogen concentration; the assessment of fibrinolytic activity thus obtained was compared with a standard method of measurement, the dilute whole blood lysis time. The lysis time was related exponentiall...
