[Activity of protein C in blood of patients with prostatic carcinoma].

Abstract

The activity of Protein C in the blood of the patients with prostatic carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia was examined. It was observed a slightly decrease of activity of protein C in the blood the patients with prostatic carcinoma. The observation of the activity of Protein C is useful because it allow to differentiate from patients with prostatic carcinoma a group of high risk of haemorrhagic complications. The activity of Protein C may be a prognostic factor of a progress of a prostatic carcinoma.
