Venous thrombosis in a family with defective release of vascular plasminogen activator and elevated plasma factor VIII/von Willebrand's factor

The American Journal of Medicine

Abstract

A family is described in which venous thrombosis developed in five members as early as 14 years of age. Routine coagulation studies, plasma antithrombin III, factor V, plasminogen, beta-thromboglobulin, fibrinopeptide A, prothrombin fragment F1+2, and thrombin-antithrombin III complex were all within normal limits. However, defective release of vascular plasminogen activator was observed on several occasions in all five subjects as compared with a control population of 125 persons (0.04 Committee on Thrombolytic Agents [CTA] units/ml plasma as compared with 0.21 CTS units/ml). In addition, levels of factor VII/von Willebrand's factor were significantly elevated above the normal range in this pedigree.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
