D68.59

Other primary thrombophilia

A disorder of hemostasis in which there is a tendency for the occurrence of thrombosis.

A rare disorder characterized by the presence of low levels of antithrombin iii which prohibits the formation of blood clots. It may be inherited, usually in an autosomal dominant pattern, or acquired. It may lead to venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

A rare thrombophilia disorder characterized by deficiency of protein c. It results in venous thromboembolism.

A rare thrombophilia disorder characterized by deficiency of protein s. It results in venous thromboembolism.

An absence or deficiency in protein c which leads to impaired regulation of blood coagulation. It is associated with an increased risk of severe or premature thrombosis. stedman’s med. Dict., 26th ed.)

An absence or reduced level of antithrombin iii leading to an increased risk for thrombosis.

An autosomal dominant disorder showing decreased levels of plasma protein s antigen or activity, associated with venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Protein s is a vitamin k-dependent plasma protein that inhibits blood clotting by serving as a cofactor for activated protein c also a vitamin k-dependent protein), and the clinical manifestations of its deficiency are virtually identical to those of protein c deficiency. Treatment with heparin for acute thrombotic processes is usually followed by maintenance administration of coumarin drugs for the prevention of recurrent thrombosis. from harrison’s principles of internal medicine, 12th ed, p1511; wintrobe’s clinical hematology, 9th ed, p1523)
