  • Title: Fibrinolytic guidelines in diabetes.
    Author: Sharma GV, Mukerjee DK, Sasahara AA.
    Journal: Geriatrics; 1982 Apr; 37(4):38-42, 46. PubMed ID: 7060947.
    Abstract:
    Urokinase and streptokinase are the two fibrinolytics approved for clinical use. Streptokinase has the broader application, being used to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), arterial thromboembolism, and occluded arteriovenous shunts in renal dialysis. Bleeding, the most significant complication of fibrinolytic therapy, arises mostly from invaded sites and can be significantly reduced by minimizing venipuncture and other invasive procedures.
