We studied plasma antithrombin III (AT-III), alpha 1-PI, alpha 2-antiplasmin (alpha 2-A), alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2-M) activity, and some blood coagulation and fibrinolysis tests in children with frequently relapsing prednisone-responsive NS.
The serum alpha 2M concentration was increased approximately equal to 50-fold and was proportional to synthesis (r = 0.91 P < 0.001). alpha 2-Macroglobulin synthesis increased by 12-fold in NAR and 50-fold in NS.
