Abstract
A treatment plan for patients suffering from a thrombotic event can be determined by measuring membrane bound and/or soluble P-selectin. The degree of reperfusion can be determined by assessing the level of soluble P-selectin subsequent to reperfusion. Additionally, predicting whether thrombolytic therapy will induce reperfusion can be determined by measuring the level of membrane bound P-selectin prior to reperfusion.
