Clinical Information

Significant bleeding can result from the presence of a coagulation factor inhibitor and could be life threatening. Whether the inhibitor is present due to hemophilia or is of an acquired nature, it greatly complicates the treatment process of a decreased factor level. The titer of the inhibitor may determine the mode of treatment. Bethesda units are a standardization to give a uniform definition of an inhibitor.

Reference Values

Only orderable as a reflex. For more information see 5INHE / Factor V Inhibitor Evaluation, Plasma.

 

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation

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.

Cautions

No significant cautionary statements
