LaboratoryCoagulation factor VIII activity and inhibitor panel - Platelet poor plasma by Chromogenic method
Definition
This panel contains results for factor VIII activity levels and the presence inhibitors directed against coagulation factor VIII. Factor VIII inhibitors are IgG antibodies that when present can lead to the development of possibly life-threatening hemorrhages. These antibodies most commonly are found in patient with Hemophilia A, elderly patients, postpartum mothers, and autoimmune deficient patients.
