Factor IV

Factor IV is a protein found in blood plasma that plays an important role in blood clotting. This protein determines the ionic balance in the plasma, participates in some chemical reactions and is a catalyst for the activation of a number of other factors. The study of factor IV is of great importance for the diagnosis and treatment of various

Ival = C calcium ⁰ x Kc calcium - direct coefficient of IV. Depends on all the reasons that determine it, for example: - hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis reduce the IV of calcium. - with hemodisler, hypocalciuria is an important factor influencing changes in plasma calcium IV - there is a direct correlation between the level of ionized calcium and its total concentration. If we are talking about the extravascular (plasma) level of ionized calcium, then there is the following relationship: C calcium - K calcium ions inside the vessels + blood plasma - - ^ sum
