What does it mean to have too much protein in your blood?
Increased total protein values may be found in multiple myeloma, and conditions with high globulin concentration(lymphoproliferative disorders.)
What are the 7 steps to the process of blood clot formation?
1. Primary hamostasis. 2. Platelets aggregation and adhesion. 3. Factor activation 4. Calcium 5. Prothrombin to thrombin 6. Fibronigene to fibrin 7. Clot
What causes Low prothrombin time?
Low prothrombin time suggests a possible "hypercoagulable" state, where blood clots more quickly than usual. This can cause problems with blood clots in veins in the legs, pelvis, or abdomen, or in arteries in the heart, neck, or brain, which can lead to venous thrombosis clot fragments going to the lungs (causing pulmonary embolism) or heart attack or stroke.

What is pooled serum human globulin and what type of immunity might this confer?
Pooled human serum globulin is antibodies (or antitoxins) found in our blood. When administered to a patient after exposure to Hepatitis A it is a type of Artificially acquired passive immunity.
What does blood plasma do in the body?
There are many genres of plasma proteins in our blood.Among them,4 types are most important.They are- 1.Albumin 2.Globulin 3.Fibrinogen 4.Prothrombin The functions are given in classified manner below- 1.Albumin: a.maintains colloidal osmotic pressure b.maintains viscosity of blood c.acts as buffer d.acts as carrier of lipid,bilirubin and hormones 2.Globulin: a.maintains colloidal osmotic pressure b.maintains viscosity of blood c.transports lipid and steroids(a1),Cu(a2),Fe(B) d.gamma globulin acts as antibody 3.Fibrinigen: a.needed for blood coagulation b.increase ESR(erythrocyte sedimentation rate) c.maintains viscosity of blood 4.Prothrombin: a.essential for blood coagulation
What are the Diagnostic procedures for acute prothrombin complex deficiency?
prothrombin time, hematocrit
What is prothrombin time INR lab test?
The INR has basically replaced the prothrombin time, or PT.
