Q

Why should you not chill platelets?

Q

How does inflammation affect protein C production?

A

Down regulates PC pathway through inhibition of thrombomodulin and endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) transcription so reduced ability to generate aPC. Neut elastases cleave TM from endothelial cells greatly reducing thrombomodulins activity. PC also dec in severe inflamm due to increased consumption and compromised ability to synthesize PC d/t hepatic dysfunction.
