Abstract

Background: The presence of fibrinogen/fibrin degradation product in plasma is one of the important parameters for the diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC). By using newly developed assay specific for fibrinogen degradation product(FgDP) or fibrin degradation product(FbDP), accelerated fibrinogenolysis or
fibrinolysis can be assessed separately.
Methods: We have observed diagnostic efficacy of FgDP in 70 patients referred for supected DIC and 20 healthy controls. FgDP was measured with a recently developed
sandwich-type ELISA (Fibrinostika, Organon Teknika) in plasma samples.
Results: Based on DIC criteria, the patients were classified into two categories : DIC(n=16) and no DIC(n=54). Sensitivity, specificity and overall percentage accuracy of FgDP assay were 93.8%, 87.0%, 88.6%, respectively, at the diagnostic level of 580 ng/ml,
which was upper limit of 95% range in controls.
Conclusion: Compared with D-dimer assay, FgDP assay seems to be more specific but less sensitive and these results suggest that simultaneous measurements of both
D-dimer and FgDP can be clinically useful for the diagnosis of hyperfibrinolytic states in DIC.
