In vivo characterization of recombinant factor VIII in a canine model of hemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency)

Detection of Factor VIII Inhibitors in Hemophilia A Patients

Background: Factor VIII administration to hemophilia A patients results in an immune response (inhibitor formation) which significantly complicates the therapy. The present study was performed to determine the prevalence of inhibitor development in hemophilia A patients receiving recombinant factor VIII therapy. Materials and Methods: This was an observational descriptive study. Clotting fac...

FACTOR V AND VIII INHIBITOR IN PATIENTS WITH COMBINED FACTOR V AND VIII DEFICIENCY

Patients with coagulation factor(s) deficiency who use coagulation therapy are susceptible to forming inhibitors against coagulation factor(s). In this survey we detected factor V and VIII inhibitor in ten patients with combined deficiency of factors V and VIII from north east of Iran (Khorassan province). It was revealed in our survey that eight patients had both factor V and factor VIII i...

Coagulation Therapy in Hemophilia A and its Relation to Factor VIII Inhibitor in Northeast of Iran

Combined Factor V and VIII Deficiency

This review summarizes current data on the pathomechanisms and new genetic findings of combined factor V and VIII deficiency (CF5F8D). Congenital haemorrhagic disorders characterized by deficiency of two clotting factors comprise an interesting group. Among dual coagulation disorders, CF5F8D is the most common type. For the first time combined factor V and VIII deficiency (F5F8D) was reported b...
