Key result
A standard administration scheme of S.K. simplifies laboratory control in fibrinolytic therapy, eliminating the need for complex plasminogen determinations.
A standard administration scheme of streptokinase simplifies or eliminates the need for complex laboratory monitoring, facilitating its use in smaller hospitals.
Standard SK dosing simplifies fibrinolytic therapy by minimizing lab control; leaves open assay needs in smaller hospitals.
An important advantage-of a standard administration scheme of S.K. is that the laboratory control is greatly simplified and is not even essential. This burden of control, and the lack of good assay systems, have in the past been major problems in fibrinolytic therapy. The required facilities for plasminogen determinations and other assays are not necessarily present in smaller hospitals and the accuracy of laboratory assessments only occasionally performed may be questioned.

Abrahamsen et al. (1966) studied Angina Pectoris / Fibrinolytic therapy. S.K. standard administration scheme was evaluated. A standard administration scheme of S.K. simplifies laboratory control in fibrinolytic therapy, eliminating the need for complex plasminogen determinations.
