protein s deficiency (medicine) and Finnish doctor (health)


protein s deficiency (medicine)


protein s deficiency


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.


Finnish doctor (health)


A doctor who, being or not a citizen of that country, has been admitted to practice medicine in Finland.
