A 15 year old boy with anorexia nervosa developed disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome (DIC). Because of severe cachexia he had been admitted to the Shimane Prefectural Central Hospital. During his hospitalization he developed generalized massive ecchymosis. Laboratory data revealed not only DIC but also multiple organ complications. The patient was treated intravenously with FOY (gabexate mesilate, a protease inhibitor), heparin, a transfusion of fresh frozen plasma, antithrombin III concentrates and platelets. Intravenous hyperalimentation was also administered. The laboratory data, the general condition and the emotional state of the patient improved remarkably. We emphasize the importance of keeping in mind coagulopathy as a complication in anorexia nervosa.

The antithrombin III (AT III) activity and the AT III concentration were investigated in 62 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). To identify the reactant pattern of AT III in postaggressive situations, we also determined labile and acute phase proteins. Firstly, 29 patients were nourished orally and then 33 patients were fed by i.v. hyperalimentation (additional caloric intake of approximately 1,000 cal). AT III activities and concentrations as well as prealbumin and retinol-binding protein decreased concomittantly and significantly whereas haptoglobin, C-reactive protein and fibrinogen increased significantly after AMI. The changes cannot be interpreted as being alterations of the haematocrit. The alterations of AT III correlated significantly with the changes of labile proteins but not with the acute phase reactant proteins. The AT III decrease in the postinfarctional phase may promote a prethrombotic state. In In addition it can be concluded from our results that AT III reacts as (nutritive-dependent) labile protein, which is lowered in postaggressive situation and does not increase as an acute phase reactant. This is in accordance with results from recent animal experiments.
