[A RARE CLINICAL CASE OF CONGENITAL HYPOPROCONVERTINEMIA]
Abstract:
The paper reports a rare clinical case of congenital hypoproconvertinemia in an elderly woman repeatedly admitted to the Cardiological Department for the management of coronary heart disease and arterial hypertension. The detection of low prothrombin index in a series of analysis requiredfurther hematological examination that revealed the history of postoperative and postnatal hemorrhage along with markedly reduced factor VII level. These results were interpreted as evidence of a rare congenital pathology, hypoproconvertinemia.
