D-dimer in PRP sump solutions and PPP. (a) D-dimer concentration in sump solutions after measurement using the Total Thrombus-formation Analysis System in PRP in the alteplase and UA–alteplase groups (n = 6). (b) Measurement of D-dimer concentration to evaluate the effects of UA (10 mg/dL) on H2O2 (100 µM)-inhibited fibrinolysis by alteplase (100 IU/ml) in pooled PPP (n = 5). Error bars represent the standard deviation. Abbreviations: PRP, platelet-rich plasma; PPP, platelet-poor plasma; H2O2, hydrogen peroxide.
