| thrombolic | Relating to a thrombolus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| thrombolus | An embolus composed of agglutinated platelets. Origin: thrombo-+ G. Embolos, embolus (05 Mar 2000) |
| thrombolymphangitis | Inflammation of a lymphatic vessel with the formation of a lymph clot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thrombolysis | Fluidifying or dissolving of a thrombus. Origin: thrombo-+ G. Lysis, a dissolving (05 Mar 2000) |
| thrombolytic | 1. Dissolving or splitting up a thrombus. 2. <pharmacology> A thrombolytic agent. Origin: Gr. Lysis = dissolution (18 Nov 1997) |
| thrombolytic agent | Medications that dissolve blot clots (for example streptokinase, tissue plasminogen activator or TPA and urokinase). (27 Sep 1997) |
| thrombolytic medication | Medications that dissolve blot clots (for example streptokinase, tissue plasminogen activator or TPA and urokinase). (27 Sep 1997) |
| thrombolytic therapy | The use of thrombolytic agents to dissolve blood clots to re-establish blood flow through an occluded vessel. Examples of thrombolytic agents include: urokinase, streptokinase and tissue plasminogen activator (TPA). These agents may be introduced into a vein or selectively into a diseased (blocked) artery using a catheter. (27 Sep 1997) |
| thrombomodulin | <cell biology> Specific endothelial cell receptor (100 kD: luminal surface only) that forms a 1:1 complex with thrombin. This complex then converts protein C to Ca, that in turn acts on Factors Va and VIIIa. Structurally similar to coated pit receptors. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thrombon | An all-inclusive term for circulating thrombocytes (blood platelets) and the cellular forms from which they arise (thromboblasts or megakaryocytes). It is analogous to erythron and leukon of the red and white blood cells, respectively. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thrombonecrosis | Necrosis of the walls of a blood vessel, with thrombosis in the lumen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thrombopathic syndrome | <syndrome> A nondescript term to describe any of a number of bleeding diseases in which clot formation is deficient rather than those in which there is an organic fault of the blood vessels. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thrombopathy | A non-specific term applied to disorders of blood platelets resulting in defective thromboplastin, without obvious change in the appearance or number of platelets. Origin: thrombo-+ G. Pathos, disease (05 Mar 2000) |
| thrombopenia | <haematology> A decrease in the number of platelets in the blood, resulting in the potential for increased bleeding and decreased ability for clotting. Origin: Gr. Penia = poverty (18 Nov 1997) |
| thrombopenic purpura | idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura |
