متن کاملA case report of temporary and acquired vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency without any response to administrated vitamin K
Abstract Background and Objectives Vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency (VKCFD) is usually an acquired problem due to liver disease, malabsorption, and overdose of warfarin. In the present paper the significance and role of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors in menorrhagia were evaluated. Case We present a rare case of 43 year woman with acquired vitamin K deficiency and se...
متن کاملThe role of rotational thromboelastometry in real time assessment of haemostasis in surgical settings.
INTRODUCTION In the settings of trauma, liver transplantation and major surgery multifactorial coagulopathies are frequently encountered. The treatment of acutely bleeding patients is critically compromised by monitoring with standard available routine coagulation tests. In contrast to conventional tests, rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) provides an automated measurement of interactive dyn...
