Treatment of amyloidosis associated factor X deficiency. 1976

J A Spero, and J H Lewis, and U Hasiba, and L D Ellis

This is the tenth patient in thirteen years to be reported with the findings of an isolated factor X deficiency associated with primary amyloidosis. A favorable response to factor IX concentrate was manifested by temporary clinical and laboratory correction of her diathesis. This mode of treatment, therefore, provides an approach to therapy for bleeding complications in this group of patients who have previously failed to response to fresh frozen plasma.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D005164	Factor IX	Storage-stable blood coagulation factor acting in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Its activated form, IXa, forms a complex with factor VIII and calcium on platelet factor 3 to activate factor X to Xa. Deficiency of factor IX results in HEMOPHILIA B (Christmas Disease).

D005171	Factor X Deficiency	Blood coagulation disorder usually inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, though it can be acquired. It is characterized by defective activity in both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, impaired thromboplastin time, and impaired prothrombin consumption.

D000686	Amyloidosis	A group of sporadic, familial and/or inherited, degenerative, and infectious disease processes, linked by the common theme of abnormal protein folding and deposition of AMYLOID. As the amyloid deposits enlarge they displace normal tissue structures, causing disruption of function. Various signs and symptoms depend on the location and size of the deposits.	Amyloidoses
