Low fasting methionine concentration as a novel risk factor for recurrent venous thrombosis.
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for venous thrombosis, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. If the thiol-group of homocysteine interferes with components of the clotting system, we expect that high cysteine will be also a risk factor for venous thrombosis. If high homocysteine reflects a disturbed methyl-group donation by S-adenosylmethionine, we expect that low methionine will be a r...
متن کاملIs hyperhomocysteinaemia a risk factor for recurrent venous thrombosis?
Several studies have shown a relation between hyperhomocysteinaemia and arterial vascular disease. We looked at the association between hyperhomocysteinaemia and venous thrombosis which could be clinically important as hyperhomocysteinaemia is easily corrected by vitamin supplementation. We studied 185 patients with a history of recurrent venous thrombosis and 220 controls from the general popu...
متن کاملProlactin and venous thrombosis: indications for a novel risk factor?
OBJECTIVE Several acquired risk factors for venous thrombosis (VT) are associated with high prolactin levels. Our goal was to investigate VT risk for different levels of prolactin. METHODS AND RESULTS We used data of a case-control study on leg vein thrombosis conducted between September 1999 and August 2006 at the Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Prolactin was assessed in...
متن کاملA novel genetic risk factor for venous thrombosis.
Featured Article: Poort SR, Rosendaal FR, Reitsma PH, Bertina RM. A common genetic variation in the 3 -untranslated region of the prothrombin gene is associated with elevated plasma prothrombin levels and an increase in venous thrombosis. Blood 1996; 88:3698 –703. Since the early 1980s our group had been interested in the molecular basis of familial thrombophilia. We studied families with a his...
متن کاملMinor injuries as a risk factor for venous thrombosis.
BACKGROUND Injuries increase the risk of venous thrombosis. So far, most research has focused on major injuries that are accompanied by other risk factors for venous thrombosis, such as plaster casts and surgery. We studied the association of venous thrombosis with common minor injuries, such as minor sural muscle ruptures and ankle sprains. METHODS We performed a large, population-based, cas...
