The powerful urinary procoagulant and its relation to renal diseases. 1979

K N von Kaulla, and E von Kaulla

Human urine and urine of various animals contains a powerful procoagulant which converts prothrombin in presence of factors V, VII, X, and phospholipids or thrombocytes into thrombin. In human beings its content of the urine is markedly reduced or totally absent in kidney diseases, but normal in hemophilic patients. Only 0.2 ml urine are required for its assessment. In experimental kidney diseases in rabbits and rats there is an inverse relationship between procoagulant and protein excretion. In the test tube 1 part of urine corrects the clotting of 5-10 parts of hemophilic plasma, even in the presence of very strong coagulation inhibitors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007674 Kidney Diseases Pathological processes of the KIDNEY or its component tissues. Disease, Kidney,Diseases, Kidney,Kidney Disease
D011516 Prothrombin A plasma protein that is the inactive precursor of thrombin. It is converted to thrombin by a prothrombin activator complex consisting of factor Xa, factor V, phospholipid, and calcium ions. Deficiency of prothrombin leads to hypoprothrombinemia. Coagulation Factor II,Factor II,Blood Coagulation Factor II,Differentiation Reversal Factor,Factor II, Coagulation,Factor, Differentiation Reversal,II, Coagulation Factor
D001779 Blood Coagulation Factors Endogenous substances, usually proteins, that are involved in the blood coagulation process. Clotting Factor,Coagulation Factors,Blood Coagulation Factor,Clotting Factors,Coagulation Factor,Coagulation Factor, Blood,Coagulation Factors, Blood,Factor, Coagulation,Factors, Coagulation,Factor, Blood Coagulation,Factor, Clotting,Factors, Blood Coagulation,Factors, Clotting
D004194 Disease A definite pathologic process with a characteristic set of signs and symptoms. It may affect the whole body or any of its parts, and its etiology, pathology, and prognosis may be known or unknown. Diseases
D005165 Factor V Heat- and storage-labile plasma glycoprotein which accelerates the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in blood coagulation. Factor V accomplishes this by forming a complex with factor Xa, phospholipid, and calcium (prothrombinase complex). Deficiency of factor V leads to Owren's disease. Coagulation Factor V,Proaccelerin,AC Globulin,Blood Coagulation Factor V,Factor 5,Factor Five,Factor Pi,Factor V, Coagulation
D005167 Factor VII Heat- and storage-stable plasma protein that is activated by tissue thromboplastin to form factor VIIa in the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. The activated form then catalyzes the activation of factor X to factor Xa. Coagulation Factor VII,Proconvertin,Stable Factor,Blood Coagulation Factor VII,Factor 7,Factor Seven,Factor VII, Coagulation
D005170 Factor X Storage-stable glycoprotein blood coagulation factor that can be activated to factor Xa by both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. A deficiency of factor X, sometimes called Stuart-Prower factor deficiency, may lead to a systemic coagulation disorder. Autoprothrombin III,Coagulation Factor X,Stuart Factor,Stuart-Prower Factor,Blood Coagulation Factor X,Factor 10,Factor Ten,Stuart Prower Factor,Factor X, Coagulation
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
