  2. Protein S deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_S_deficiency

    Human Chr 3. In terms of the cause of protein S deficiency it can be in inherited via autosomal dominance.A mutation in the PROS1 gene triggers the condition. The cytogenetic location of the gene in question is chromosome 3, specifically 3q11.1 [6] [7] Protein S deficiency can also be acquired due to vitamin K deficiency, treatment with warfarin, liver disease, kidney disease, chemotherapy ...

  3. Childbirth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childbirth

    These physicians and surgeons variously provide care across the whole spectrum of normal and abnormal births and pathological labour conditions. Categorically specialised obstetricians are qualified surgeons, so they can undertake surgical procedures relating to childbirth. Some family practitioners or general practitioners also perform ...

  4. Protein C deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_C_deficiency

    The normal concentration of plasma protein C is 70 nM (4 μg/mL) with a half live of approximately 8 hours. [2] Healthy term neonates, however, have lower (and more variable) physiological levels of protein C (ranging between 15-55 IU/dL) than older children or adults, and these concentrations progressively increase throughout the first 6 ...

  5. Hypoproteinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoproteinemia

    An example of nutritional hypoproteinemia is Kwashiorkor, a type of protein energy malnutrition affecting young children. Malabsorption , often caused by celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease Liver disease can also cause hypoproteinemia by decreasing synthesis of plasma proteins like albumin.

    E.g., Nitisinone prevents the formation of toxic metabolites for patients with Tyrosinemia Type I and enables normal growth and development in combination with a low-protein diet; Vitamins. E.g., thiamine supplementation benefits several types of disorders that cause lactic acidosis.

  7. Protein folding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_folding

    Protein before and after folding Results of protein folding. Protein folding is the physical process by which a protein, after synthesis by a ribosome as a linear chain of amino acids, changes from an unstable random coil into a more ordered three-dimensional structure. This structure permits the protein to become biologically functional. [1]

  8. Serum protein electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_protein_electrophoresis

    The immunoglobulins or antibodies are generally the only proteins present in the normal gamma region. Of note, any protein migrating in the gamma region will be stained and appear on the gel, which may include protein contaminants, artifacts, or certain medications. Depending on whether an agarose or capillary method is used, interferences vary.

  9. Low-protein diet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-protein_diet

    As protein consumption increases, calcium uptake from the gut is enhanced. [1] [21] Normal increases in calcium uptake occur with increased protein in the range 0.8 grams to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram body weight per day. However, calcium uptake from the gut does not compensate for calcium loss in the urine at protein consumption of 2 ...
