Interpretation for the detection of the presence and titer of a specific factor inhibitor directed against coagulation factor VIII
Factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitors are IgG antibodies directed against coagulation FVIII that typically result in development of potentially life-threatening hemorrhage. These antibodies may develop in 1 of 4 different patient populations:
-Patients with congenital FVIII deficiency (hemophilia A) in response to therapeutic infusions of factor VIII concentrate
-Older nonhemophiliac adult patients (not previously factor VIII deficient)
-Women in postpartum period
-Patients with other autoimmune illnesses
Only orderable as a reflex. For more information see 8INHE / Factor VIII Inhibitor Evaluation, Plasma.
An interpretive report will be provided.
When no significant abnormalities are detected, a simple descriptive interpretation is provided. When abnormal results are detected, a detailed interpretation is given, including an overview of the results and of their significance, a correlation to available clinical information, and elements of differential diagnosis.
