Flashcards

Coagulation enzymes

Enzymes specifically released into the bloodstream by certain cells, primarily involved in blood clotting.

Enzyme levels as tissue damage indicators

Changes in the concentration of certain enzymes can indicate tissue damage or dysfunction.

Normal cell turnover enzymes

Enzymes that are released during the normal breakdown and renewal of cells.

Low levels of normal cell turnover enzymes

In healthy individuals, the concentration of enzymes released during normal cell turnover is generally low.
