DEFIBRINATE Meaning and Definition

  1. Defibrinate is a verb that refers to the process of removing or extracting fibrin from a substance, usually blood or blood plasma. Fibrin is a fibrous protein that is part of the clotting mechanism in blood, responsible for coagulation and forming clots to stop bleeding.

    The act of defibrination involves eliminating or destroying fibrin strands or clots within a liquid, such as blood, in order to prevent or reverse coagulation and restore flowability. This process is often carried out for medical, research, or industrial purposes. In medical settings, defibrination may be performed to prepare blood or plasma for transfusion by removing fibrin clots that could potentially cause blockages or other adverse reactions in the recipient's body.

    Defibrination can be achieved through various methods, such as chemical agents or physical techniques, including mechanical agitation or filtration. Certain enzymes, such as fibrinolysin, can also be utilized to break down fibrin in a controlled manner.

    By defibrinating blood or plasma, the concentration of fibrinogen (a precursor protein to fibrin) is notably reduced, resulting in decreased clotting potential. This allows for smoother flow, separation of components, or further processing of the liquid for various applications.

    Overall, the term defibrinate is mainly associated with the removal of fibrin to promote fluidity and prevent coagulation in substances, notably blood or blood plasma.
