[Methods and clinical significance of paracoagulation phenanthroline test]n

Experiments with fibrin monomers isolated from the plasma revealed that o-phenanthroline causes the paracoagulation phenomenon. Based on this phenomenon, phenanthroline test has been developed, which enables measuring fibrin monomer and its complexes in the blood plasma. High reliability and reproducibility of this test have been confirmed in examinations of 912 patients with the DIC syndrome, thrombosis, thromboembolism, and other hemostasis disorders.
