Familial protein S deficiency is associated with recurrent thrombosis.
Recent studies have demonstrated that protein C deficiency is associated with recurrent familial thrombosis. In plasma, activated protein C functions as an anticoagulant. This anticoagulant response requires a vitamin K-dependent plasma protein cofactor, referred to as protein S. Since the anticoagulant activity of activated protein C is dependent on protein S, we hypothesized that patients lac...
متن کاملRight atrial thrombosis associated with sagittal sinus thrombosis caused by protein C-S deficiency.
Right atrial thrombi may develop within the right atrium or may have peripheral venous origins that, on their way to the final destination site lodge in, right atrium. Right atrial thrombosis is classified as two type: A (mobile, thin) and B (non mobile and attached to atrial wall) that they are probably of cardiac origin due to local pathology, indwelling catheter, atrial fibrillation, stasis,...
متن کاملProtein S deficiency associated with progressive loss of vision and intracranial venous sinus thrombosis.
We report a 27-year-old male who presented with headache and rapid visual impairment. He had been diagnosed with venous sinus thrombosis 3 months earlier, when he had diffuse headache, nausea and vomiting, which subsided after incomplete thrombolytic therapy. Warfarin was then prescribed without screening for coagulopathy. Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral papilloedema, splinter hemorrh...
متن کاملA case of nephrotic syndrome associated with protein S deficiency and cerebral thrombosis.
Protein S is found in two forms in plasma; as free and functionally active protein S, and complexed to C4b-binding protein. Patients with nephrotic syndrome are at risk for arterial and venous thrombosis at various localizations, and acquired protein S deficiency due to the selective urinary loss of the free form may be a risk factor for the development of thromboembolic complications. We repor...
متن کاملFree protein S deficiency: a possible association with cerebrovascular occlusion.
A deficiency of free protein S, known to increase the risk of peripheral venous thrombosis, has not been well described in patients with cerebrovascular disease. In a pilot study of 35 patients with symptomatic cerebrovascular disease, using a qualitative crossed immunoelectrophoresis assay we found eight patients with a free protein S deficiency. A Laurell immunoelectrophoresis assay was used ...
