Treatment of Protein S Deficiency in Pregnancy
This protocol addresses Protein S deficiency in the specific context of pregnancy — covering the management approach for a patient with an established diagnosis of Protein S deficiency who is pregnant.
Clinical Scenario
The patient is a pregnant woman with a pre-existing diagnosis of Protein S deficiency — that is, the condition was identified prior to conception. Pregnancy in this setting requires structured clinical management.
Treatment Approach
Management involves a prophylactic anticoagulation strategy. Low molecular weight heparin is central to the approach used in this scenario.
