It was the aim of the present study to investigate factor II levels in liver cirrhosis (LC) patients with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) carrying the heterozygous G20210A prothrombin (PT) mutation...

00/0000 | Thrombosis and Haemostasis, SchattauerElevated plasma prothrombin levels, due to the prothrombin 20210 G/A mutation or to acquired causes, are a risk factor for venous thrombosis, partly because of prothrombin-mediated inhibition of the protein C anticoagulant pathway and consequent activated protein C (APC) resistance...
