Protein C deficiency is a well recognized risk factor for development of venous thromboembolism but has never been reported to be associated with development of
liver cirrhosis

cirrhosis
possibly due to Wilson's disease. However no improvement was seen with D penicillamine and patient's condition detiorated. Further, work up of patient revealed absence of
Protein C
levels in the plasma. So finally the case was diagnosed as
Cirrhosis liver
with Protein C deficiency as the likely etiology. We conclude that Protein C deficiency should be investigated in patients with
cirrhosis
with thrombotic lesions of unknown etiology.
