HEMOSTASIS
Price: 345 Euro/ kit von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is a pro-coagulant protein which plays an important role in hemostasis. von Willebrand disease, (vWD), the most common inherited bleeding disorder, is caused by either quantitative (Type I) or qualitative (Type II) deficiency. Both quantitative (antigenic) and qualitative (functional) assays are important in the diagnosis and treatment of vWD.
Protein C contributes to the maintenance of normal hemostasis by limiting clot formation and promoting fibrinolysis. Deficiency, either congenital or acquired, may lead to serious thrombotic events. Protein S serves as a cofactor for the anticoagulant and fibrinolytic effects of activated protein C. Protein S deficiency, either congenital or acquired, may lead to serious thrombotic events. The measurement of both total and free Protein S (the functionally active form) is useful in classifying patients with congenital Protein S deficiency. |
