Do you know the role of urokinase
Urokinase is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from human urine or renal cell
tissue culture medium, which can directly activate fibrinolytic enzyme to become
fibrinolytic enzyme, so as to hydrolyze fibrinolytic proteins and dissolve
thrombus. The activity of fibrinolytic enzyme increased rapidly after
intravenous administration of this drug, reaching a peak in 15 minutes, rising
after 6 hours, and slowly returning to normal after 24 hours. Urokinase is used
in the same way as streptokinase, but it is weaker than streptokinase. At
present, it is mainly used in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction with
intravenous thrombolysis or intra-coronary thrombolysis, and also for other
thromboembolic diseases, ocular inflammation, traumatic tissue edema, hematoma,
etc. In addition, there is anti - lung cancer metastasis, pregnancy poisoning,
systemic lupus erythematosus also has a certain effect.
