Prothrombin Time, an Indicator for Psoriasis Activity: A Case - Control Study

Background: Psoriasis is a common chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin disorder related to the immune system and characterized by the rapid growth of skin cells. To date, no study has been conducted on the role of the prothrombin time index in determining the disease activity and the prognosis of these patients. Recognizing the factors influencing the prognosis of this disease can be helpf...

Prothrombin time derived fibrinogen determination on Sysmex CA-6000.

AIM To evaluate PT derived fibrinogen determinations with reference to the Clauss fibrinogen assay using a Sysmex CA-6000 random access coagulation analyser. METHODS Samples were analysed from normal subjects (n = 20), patients with renal or liver dysfunction (n = 25), critically ill patients (n = 25), patients receiving oral anticoagulant treatment (n = 50), and patients with a haemoglobinop...

Prothrombin Time in Normal Indians

Dam and his colleagues (1934, 1936) were the first to show the important role of vitamin K in the synthesis of prothrombin in the liver. Numerous studies by Hawkins and Brinkhous (1936), Dam and Glavind (1938), Zuckerman et al. (1939), and Clark et al. (1939) have since established the efficiency of this vitamin in combating certain hsemorrhagic states, characterized by lowered prothrombin leve...

Prothrombin Time in Dicoumarol Therapy.

In the course of controlling dicoumarol therapy given (a) as a postoperative routine to prevent thrombosis (fifty-five cases) and (b) therapeutically in cases of established venous thrombosis (nine cases), certain peculiarities have been observed in the behaviour of the prothrombin time, particularly in relation to dicoumarol haemorrhage. Two sources of thromboplastin have been used, Russell vi...
