The results of our study suggest that the acute phase response may be partly related to a yet unknown primary inflammatory component in unstable angina. Further studies are needed to elucidate the actual role of inflammation in unstable angina and its relation to activation of the coagulation system.

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.
