Congenital Protein C or S Deficiency
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Congenital protein C or protein S deficiency is an inherited clotting disorder in which the body produces insufficient amounts of these proteins, which are responsible for regulating the formation of clots in the blood.
What can it cause? With this natural control lacking, there is a greater tendency to form clots, which can appear in the veins of the legs or in other vessels of the body.
When is an evaluation advisable? It is reasonable to study it when there are venous clots that appear early or without an apparent cause, repeated episodes, or a family history of thrombosis.
Which specialist treats it? Its study corresponds to the hematologist, and in childhood to the pediatric hematologist, with the pediatrician as support. If there is a family history or episodes of thrombosis, discussing them with a professional allows for a proper evaluation.
