One thought on “What other birth control options are available to people with protein S
deficiency?”
Arti says:
e. The question of whether to continue lifelong warfarin in patients
with identified protein S deficiency after their first thrombotic event is
controversial. Treatment of protein S deficiency occurs either in patients who have had a
venous thrombosis or in patients with asymptomatic carrier states without a
thrombotic event, depending on the decisions made by the patient’s health care
provider. Protein S deficiency has been divided into 3 alternative types based on the
measurement of protein S antigen (presence of the protein in the bloodstream),
functional protein S activity (ability of protein S to appropriately perform
its function), the free protein S (or unbound protein S) and total protein S
(includes free protein S and protein S that is bound to another protein in the
blood): Protein S deficiency has been divided into 3 alternative types based on the
