  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 ...

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-fetoprotein

    Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP, α-fetoprotein; also sometimes called alpha-1-fetoprotein, alpha-fetoglobulin, or alpha fetal protein) is a protein [5] [6] that in humans is encoded by the AFP gene. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] The AFP gene is located on the q arm of chromosome 4 (4q13.3). [ 9 ]

    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.

  6. Protein (nutrient) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_as_nutrient

    Protein is a nutrient needed by the human body for growth and maintenance. Aside from water, proteins are the most abundant kind of molecules in the body. Protein can be found in all cells of the body and is the major structural component of all cells in the body, especially muscle. This also includes body organs, hair and skin.

    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.

  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 ...
