An infant with severe homozygous protein C deficiency was brought to medical attention because of purpura fulminans and severe bilateral vitreous hemorrhages in the neonatal period. Infusions of fresh frozen plasma were given for 8 months. On two occasions, attempts to decrease the frequency of
OBJECTIVE
Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a life-threatening hepatic disease characterized by hepatic venous obstruction at the level of hepatic vein, hepatic venules, or inferior vena cava. No evidence reported the relationship between the endothelial progenitor cells and the deficiency of factor V
Plasma levels of protein C (enzyme immunoassay), albumin (electrophoresis), and transthyretin (radial immunodiffusion) were measured in 15 patients with the compensated hepatosplenic form of schistosomiasis and in 10 healthy volunteers. Plasma levels of protein C were below normal in 47% of the
To investigate the possibility that a hypercoagulable state develops during autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT), we measured levels of circulating natural anticoagulants and fibrinolytic proteins before and weekly during the hospital course of 18 patients undergoing autologous BMT for
Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are dependent on i.v. vitamin K supplementation to prevent deficiency. Vitamin K deficiency may contribute to the development of a hypercoagulable state by limiting hepatic synthesis of fully functional carboxylated anticoagulant
OBJECTIVE
To determine aetiology, clinical presentation and predictors of survival in Budd Chiari Syndrome patients.
METHODS
The prospective observational study based on non-probability convenient sampling was conducted at the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi, and
OBJECTIVE
Thalassemic patients have an increased risk for thromboembolic complications. To determine if this might be due to a deficiency in protein C, we investigated the status of the protein C anticoagulant pathway in thalassemia major patients and its relationship to the hypercoagulable
