Abstract

Protein C is a vitamin K dependent glycoprotein produced by the liver.  Protein C acts as a naturally occurring anticoagulant and its deficiency, predisposes the individual to a state of thrombosis, particularly venous thromboembolism. Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a chronic venous insufficiency manifestation following an episode of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). We presented a case of 56 year old Malay man who was diagnosed with Protein C deficiency and presented with recurrent DVT complicated with PTS.
