1. A method for detecting thrombotic or thromboembolic diseases in a patient comprising detecting a presence or amount of Fibrinopeptide B (FPB) and/or des-arginine FPB peptides in a sample of urine from the patient to determine whether the patient has thrombotic or thromboembolic disease.

6. A method of monitoring treatment of thrombotic or thromboembolic diseases in a patient comprising measuring a Fibrinopeptide B (FPB) and/or des-arginine FPB peptides level in a sample of urine from the patient and determining the level is significantly greater than in a normal population to determine whether the patient has thrombotic or thromboembolic disease.

7. A method for monitoring treatment of thrombotic or thromboembolic disease caused by a thrombosis or embolism in a patient comprising:
-
(a) detecting an amount of Fibrinopeptide B (FPB) peptide present in a sample of urine obtained from the patient at a first time;
(b) detecting an amount of FPB peptide present in a second sample of urine obtained from the patient at a second later time; and
(c) comparing the amounts determined in steps (a) and (b) to determine whether the thrombosis or embolism is diminishing in size.

8. A diagnostic method for detecting thrombotic or thromboembolic disease in a patient comprising:
-
(a) contacting a urine sample from the patient, the sample suspected of containing a presence or amount of fibrinopeptide B (FPB) peptide and/or des-arginine FPB peptide, with an amount of detection agent specific for FPB and/or des-arginine FPB peptides to form an FPB;
detection agent complex; and
(b) detecting the presence or amount of FPB and/or des-arginine FPB peptides in the sample to determine whether the patient has thrombotic or thromboembolic disease. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

9. A diagnostic method for monitoring treatment of thrombotic or thromboembolic disease in a patient comprising:
-
(a) contacting a urine sample suspected of containing fibrinopeptide B (FFB) peptide and/or des-arginine FPB peptide with an amount of detection agent specific for FPB and/or des-arginine FPB peptides to form an FPB;
detection agent complex, wherein the sample is from a patient undergoing treatment for thrombotic or thromboembolic disease; and
(b) detecting a presence or amount of FPB and/or des-arginine FPB peptides in the sample to monitor changes in the presence or amount of FPB and/or des-arginine FPB peptides in the patient to monitor treatment of the patient for thrombotic or thromboembolic disease. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
