Abstract:
Fibrinopeptide A (FPA) levels have been assayed in 10 normal subjects using a radioimmunoassay (RIA-mat FPA Mallinckrodt). Mean values were 0,97 +/- 0,46 ng/ml. The variation coefficient of the test was 4,82%. The method is well standardized and seems to be useful in the diagnosis of venous thrombosis and in the control of heparin treatment. It seems to be also useful in the evidentiation of an activation af the coagulation system in some diseases (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes etc.)
