1 Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent that blocks plasmin formation. Tranexamic Acid plasminogen Homo sapiens
2 Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent that blocks plasmin formation. Tranexamic Acid plasminogen Homo sapiens
3 Because plasmin is known to promote inflammatory and immunosuppressive responses, we explored the possibility that plasmin-mediated immunosuppression in patients undergoing cardiac surgery can be directly reversed by TXA and decrease postoperative infection rates. Tranexamic Acid plasminogen Homo sapiens
4 TXA was also shown to exert an immune-modulatory effect in healthy volunteers, further supporting the fibrin-independent effect of TXA on immune function and indicating that baseline plasmin levels contribute to the regulation of the immune system in the absence of any comorbidity or surgical trauma. Tranexamic Acid plasminogen Homo sapiens
