Summary of snakes known to cause venom-induced consumption coagulopathy, the procoagulant toxin, and the factor deficiencies that have been reported (with permission from WikiToxin).

Abstract

<p>aPTT – activated partial thromboplastin time, CT – clotting time, VCT – venous clotting time, FDP – fibrinogen degradation products, PLA<sub>2</sub> – phospholipase A<sub>2</sub>, PT – prothrombin time, TLE – thrombin like enzymes, WBCT – whole blood clotting time, WBCT20 – 20 minutes whole blood clotting time, FII – factor II, FV – factor V, FX – factor X, FDP – fibrinogen degradation products; PTA – prothrombin activator; SVMP – snake venom metalloproteinase; NR – not reported;</p><p>* A SVMP has been isolated from <i>D. typus</i> venom but its function (? PTA, FX activator, TLE) is unclear and only fibrinogen has been measured in patients.</p><p>Summary of snakes known to cause venom-induced consumption coagulopathy, the procoagulant toxin, and the factor deficiencies that have been reported (with permission from WikiToxin).</p
