Abbokinase is an alternative name for urokinase, an enzyme found in urine, which can also be used to treat deep vein thrombosis.

Sometimes, anti-clotting drugs such as urokinase can be used for patients with a sudden onset of clotting in the veins of the liver. These drugs do not seem to work when the clots have become established.

In the body's natural systems, tissue plasminogen activator or tPA attaches itself to the clot and breaks it down by plasmin fibrinolysis. This is done artificially (thrombolysis) using drugs such as streptokinase, urokinase, or recombinant tPA formulations.

Drug names ending in "ase" may be Thrombolytic agents such as alteplase, streptokinase, reteplase, and urokinase. These drugs are used to dissolve blood clots due to coronary artery thrombi, deep vien thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism.
