Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Factor VII coagulant activity (VIIc) is implicated in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the general population. VIIc is correlated with hyperlipidaemia and influenced by a polymorphism of the factor VII gene and could contribute to thrombotic risk in patients with renal disease. ME...
