Acquired deficiency of coagulation factor VII
نویسندگان
چکیده
Factor VII (FVII) is found in small amounts in plasma and has a very short half-life in circulation. FVII is vitamin K-dependently synthesized in the liver. As such, hepatopathies, vitamin K deficiency, or use of vitamin K antagonists is the cause of acquired deficiency. Other types of acquired FVII deficiencies are rare.1 Here we describe a case of acquired factor VII deficiency associated to the presence of lupus anticoagulant.

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...

Background: Factor VII concentrates are used in patients with congenital or acquired factor VII deficiency or treatment of hemophilia patients with inhibitors. In this research, immunoaffinity chromatography was used to purify factor VII from prothrombin complex (Prothrombin-Proconvertin-Stuart Factor-Antihemophilic Factor B or PPSB) which contains coagulation factors II, VII, IX and X. The a...

Background: Coagulation Factor VII is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease which has a pivotal role in the initiation of the coagulation cascade. The congenital Factor VII deficiency is a recessive hemorrhagic disorder that occurs due to mutations of F7 gene. In the present study C91S (p.C91S) substitution was detected in a patient with FVII deficiency. This mutation has not b...

Coagulation factors belong to a family of plasma glycosylated proteins that should be activated for appropriate blood coagulation. Congenital deficiencies of these factors cause inheritable hemorrhagic diseases. Factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder with variable clinical symptoms. Various mutations have been identified throughout the F7 gene and can affect all the protein do...

In this study, anion-exchange chromatography was used to purify factor VII and factor IX from prothrombin complex (PPSB), which contains coagulation factors II, VII, IX and X. For this purpose, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B gel , Pharmacia column XK-26 , high flow rate and two stepwise gradients with phosphate citrate buffer were used. The yield of the two lyophylized products, factor VII and factor...
