    AbstractSoluble fibrin is composed mainly of desA fibrin and fibrinogen oligomers consisting of fewer than 16 monomers partially cross-linked by factor XIIIa. Soluble fibrin cannot stimulate Glu-plasminogen activation by tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA); therefore, it may not be a direct predecessor of D-dimer. However, within the microcirculatory system, soluble fibrin oligomers may form microclots. Fibrin microclots stimulate Glu-plasminogen activation by t-PA, a process resulting in the formation of Glu-plasmin. Glu-plasmin dissolves the microclots, forming D-dimer. In normal and pathological blood plasma samples, soluble fibrin levels are substantially higher than those of D-dimer. Their concentrations in the plasma are also regulated by transendothelial transfer, absorption by blood macrophages, and binding and internalization with low-density lipoprotein receptors of the cells of the reticuloendothelial system. Therefore, the exact mechanisms of fibrin clots formation and elimination in normal and pathological conditions remain unclear. In this study, we reviewed findings on the molecular mechanisms of the formation and dissolution of fibrin clots, fibrin-dependent activation of Glu-plasminogen by t-PA, and blood plasma behavior in the microcirculatory system. Finally, we proposed a model that explains the relations of D-dimer and soluble fibrin underlying the common and separate mechanisms of their formation and elimination.
