Elevated plasma endothelin-1 levels in sickle cell anemia: relationships to oxygen saturation and left ventricular hypertrophy.

abstract：:A family is described in which venous thromboembolic disease is associated with reduced plasma protein C activity and normal levels of protein C antigen. Immunoelectrophoretic analysis of protein C antigen gave an abnormal pattern in all affected members, suggesting that the disorder is related to the presence of a st...
