Prothrombin has diverse biological functions in addition to its well established role in blood coagulation. In order to study these functions in more detail mouse model systems are needed. Since deficiency of prothrombin in mice results in partial embryonic lethality and neonatal death, alternative
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of hypoprothrombinemia associated with the use of cefmetazole sodium, define patients at risk for this adverse effect, and identify options to prevent this problem.

Menadione (Vitamin K3) is an over-the-counter (OTC) drug used in the treatment of abdominal cramps, colitis, diarrhea, hay fever, hemorrahage, hypoprothrombinemia, and joint pains. In this study, we evaluated the protective influence of protocatechuic acid on menadione-induced
In 50 patients with mitral stenosis in the stage of maximal clinical improvement a correlation between the functional state of liver and the morphological changes was estblished. For this purpose the serum total bilirubin concentration was determined together with the serum total protein, albumin
Liver cirrhosis is characterized with alterations in hepatocytic perfusion, decreasing in number of hepatocytes and with seriously impared synthetic function of liver (hypoalbuminemy, inversion of albumino-globulinic ratio, hypoprothrombinemia). In a group of patients, suffered of liver cirrhosis
Sulfinpyrazone and phenylbutazone cause stereoselective alterations in the metabolic clearance of racemic warfarin in man. To determine if these drugs additionally displace warfarin from its binding sites in vivo free fractions of plasma warfarin were measured by equilibrium dialysis. Single doses
