Some reports suggested that there deficiency; renal failure; shunt thrombosis must also be another cause for APC resistance apart from the FV Leiden mutation [8].

Abstract Arterial ischemic stroke defines as a new focal neurologic deficit that lasted 24 hours or longer. Stroke is relatively rare in children and incidence of cerebrovascular disease is 1 per 4000 in neonates and 1 per 7000 to 1 per 70000 in older children (1 month to 18 years). Protein S deficiency is one of the causes of the stroke in children. Major manifestations of protein S deficienc...
متن کاملAn abnormal plasma distribution of protein S occurs in functional protein S deficiency.
Protein S is a natural anticoagulant present in the plasma that serves as a cofactor for activated protein C. Patients deficient in protein S are subject to recurrent venous thrombotic disease. Protein S deficiency differs from other plasma protein deficiencies in that deficient patients often have normal or only mildly reduced levels of protein S in their plasma as detected by conventional imm...
