| Front | Name the two APPs and describe their characteristics? |
|---|---|
| Back | Albumin (-): decreases in concentration in the present of inflammation. The liver decreases its production on purpose. There are so many positive APP's so albumin counteracts that so that colloidal pressure in vasculature doesn't get too high (balance things out) --> we don’t want water drawn into vascular space so we need this! Fibrinogen (+): increase in blood concentration in times of inflammation. Cleaved at injury site --> fibrin is used for hemostasis (primary clot) |
