[Severe factor XIII-deficiency. Studies on subunits and turnover of the fibrin stabilizing factor (author's transl)]. 1977

An infant with congenital homozygous factor XIII deficiency demonstrated a severe retroperitoneal and intracerebral bleeding with development of a posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in the first months of life. Factor XIII activity was not measurable by means of enzymatic method and the antiserum inhibition test. Quantitative immunoelectrophoresis according to Laurell presented absence of the subunit A, whereas the concentration of subunit S was reduced to 47% the normal value. After replacement therapy factor XIII activity was estimated at 23% and corresponded to the concentration of the subunit A, concentration of subunit S increased by 20%. The turnover rate of fibrin stabilizing factor could be observed over a period of 39 days. The half life was estimated at 4,7 days. The child developed normally after continous substitution with 250 units of factor XIII concentrate every 6 weeks.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D002543 Cerebral Hemorrhage Bleeding into one or both CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES including the BASAL GANGLIA and the CEREBRAL CORTEX. It is often associated with HYPERTENSION and CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA.

D005176 Factor XIII A fibrin-stabilizing plasma enzyme (TRANSGLUTAMINASES) that is activated by THROMBIN and CALCIUM to form FACTOR XIIIA. It is important for stabilizing the formation of the fibrin polymer (clot) which culminates the coagulation cascade.

D012187 Retroperitoneal Space An area occupying the most posterior aspect of the ABDOMINAL CAVITY. It is bounded laterally by the borders of the quadratus lumborum muscles and extends from the DIAPHRAGM to the brim of the true PELVIS, where it continues as the pelvic extraperitoneal space.
