    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Hematology

    Context:

    • Plasminogen determination is crucial for understanding hemostasis and related disorders.
    • Existing methods for plasminogen measurement can be complex or time-consuming.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a simple, routine method for determining plasminogen levels.
    • To validate the new method against established techniques.

    Summary:

    • A straightforward assay using coagulation time for plasminogen measurement is presented.
    • The method involves incubating plasma with a reagent, followed by thrombin addition and measurement of coagulation time.
    • Results are quantified using a standard curve and show high correlation (r=0.96) with an immunological method.

    Impact:

    • This assay provides a simple and reliable tool for routine plasminogen determination.
    • Findings suggest plasminogen titre measurement is valuable beyond hemostasis-related diagnostics.
