Hypoprothrombinemia: case report
RR Montgomery, A Otsuka and WE Hathaway
A patient with a significant history of spontaneous and posttraumatic
bleeding was found to have hypoprothrombinemia. His prothrombin (factor II)
activity by clotting assay was 9.5% and his factor II antigen was 5%.
Crossed immunoelectrophoresis and sucrose density gradient
ultracentrifugation of the patient's plasma showed his prothrombin to be
qualitatively indistinguishable from normal prothrombin by these
techniques.
