Popis: Immune nephritis in rats was induced by administration of nephrotoxic rabbit antiserum. The development of severe renal inflammation (proteinuria, edema, lipemia, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and 30% mortality) was accompanied by hypercoagulation and inhibition of fibrinolysis. Repeated subcutaneous injections of thymoptin in a low dose of 0.1 microg/200 g (5 injections every other day) increased the severity of inflammation and prethrombotic state of the blood. Lengthening the period between injections (5 injections at 5-day intervals) was followed by a tendency toward attenuation of nephritis and correction of hypercoagulation. In healthy rats, thymoptin produced an opposite effect on hemostasis, which was manifested in moderate stimulation of fibrinolysis and hypocoagulation.
