	Factor XI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Factor XI or plasma thromboplastin antecent is one of the enzymes of the coagulation cascade.
		Factor XI (FXI) is produced by the liver and circulates as a homo-dimer in its inactive form.
		Deficiency of factor XI causes the rare Haemophilia C; this mainly occurs in Ashkenazi Jews and is believed to affect approximately 8% of that population.

	OHC : Factor XI deficiency (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Deficiency of factor XI is associated with a bleeding tendency, but the correlation between the plasma level and the severity of the haemorrhagic manifestations is poor.
		Factor XI is a serine protease enzyme, encoded by a gene located on chromosome 4 and synthesized in the liver.
		The principal inhibitor of activated factor XIa in the circulation is alpha 1-antitrypsin.

		Factor testing may be done if an inherited factor deficiency is suspected, especially when bleeding episodes begin early in life or when a close relative has an inherited factor deficiency.
		Factors may be decreased because of: DIC, liver disease, uremia, some cancers, bone marrow disorders, exposure to snake venom, a Vitamin K deficiency, anticoagulation therapy, an accidental ingestion of the anticoagulant warfarin, or due to blood transfusions (stored units of blood lose some of their clotting factors).

	Acquired factor XI deficiency in systemic lupus erythematosus.
		The low factor XI levels were not due to a classical coagulation inhibitor, but to a plasma factor (probably an immunoglobulin) that selectively bound factor XI.

		The study was designed to investigate the role of prothrombotic risk factors which are believed to be important in cardiovascular disease among women and to dissect the interaction of coagulation factor risk factors with those of other known risk factors.
		Although one study has noted high factor XI levels in relation to deep-vein thrombosis, this is the first study to examine this association in arterial disease and particularly in women with CAD."
