Descriptor English: Protein S Deficiency
Descriptor Spanish: Deficiencia de Proteína S
Descriptor deficiencia de proteína S
Scope note: Trastorno autosómico dominante que muestra niveles bajos del antígeno plasmático proteína S o de su actividad, se asocia con trombosis venosa y embolismo pulmonar. La PROTEÍNA S es una proteína plasmática que depende de la vitamina K, ésta inhibe la coagulación sanguínea al actuar como cofactor para la PROTEÍNA C activada (también una proteína dependiente de la vitamina K), y las manifestaciones clínicas de su déficit son virtualmente idénticas a las del déficit de proteína C. El tratamiento con heparina para los procesos trombóticos agudos usualmente se continúa con la administración de medicamentos cumarínicos para el mantenimiento, con el fin de prevenir la trombosis recurrente.

Scope note: 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.
