Quizplus · Accepted Answer

rtPA (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) is a medication that promotes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, which helps to dissolve blood clots. Heparin and Coumadin both work to prevent blood clots from forming but do not directly promote the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. Vitamin K is important for the production of clotting factors, but it does not promote the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin.
