Fibrinolysis is a normal body process that keeps naturally occurring blood clots from growing and causing problems.
Primary fibrinolysis refers to the normal breakdown of clots.
Secondary fibrinolysis is the breakdown of blood clots due to a medical disorder, medicine, or other cause.
Alternative NamesFibrinolysis
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsBlood clots form on a protein called fibrin. The breakdown of fibrin (fibrinolysis) can increase under certain conditions, such as:
- Bacterial infections
- Intense exercise
- Low blood sugar
- Not enough oxygen to tissues
In some situations, doctors may wish to speed up the rate of fibrinolysis. For example, when an abnormal clot forms in the blood vessels of the heart and results in a heart attack, human-made fibrinolytic substances (such as tPA, streptokinase, or Retavase) may be given to break up the clot.

What does fibrinolysis do?
Fibrinolysis is the process of breaking down blood clots. It is a natural mechanism that helps prevent excessive clot formation in the bloodstream and promotes the dissolution of existing clots to restore blood flow. This process involves the activation of enzymes that break down fibrin, the protein that forms the structure of blood clots.
What is Primary demand and secondary demand?
primary and secondary demand
Difference between primary server and secondary server?
Primary Means, it is individual there is no dependence, But Secondary will allays depends on Primary, If you want to do Secondary, you should complete primary first, There is no precondition to primary, but for Secondary Primary is the Precondition, first you should do primary, then only you are able to do secondary.

A transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings If the secondary voltage is 25 V find the primary voltage?
Voltage on primary/Primary turns = Voltage on secondary/Secondary turns

Secondary
Is a predator a primary or a secondary?
secondary
How does the product of voltage and current in the primary compare with the product of voltage and current in the secondary?
The current in the secondary when the voltage is twice the primary will be one half of the primary. The current in the primary when the voltage is twice the secondary will be twice the secondary.
