The fibrinolytic system plays an important role in normal haemostasis and endothelial function. This study was conducted to compare three fibrinolytic markers, i.e. plasminogen, tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) between acute stroke and stable non-stroke patients and to investigate the clinical significance of these markers.
