متن کاملImbalance of thromboxane/prostacyclin biosynthesis in patients with lupus anticoagulant.
The mechanism involved in the association between antiphospholipid antibodies and thrombosis or fetal loss remains unclear. We assessed the biosynthesis of thromboxane A2 and prostacyclin in 31 samples from 25 patients with lupus anticoagulant and in 32 controls. The urinary excretion of the major thromboxane metabolite of platelet origin (11-dehydrothromboxane B2) was very significantly increa...
