Interpretation of CHF8P / Chromogenic Factor VIII Inhibitor Bethesda Profile, Plasma
Detecting the presence and titer of a specific factor inhibitor directed against coagulation factor VIII
This test is not useful for detecting the presence of inhibitors directed against other clotting factors and will not detect the presence of lupus anticoagulants.
Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see CHF8P / Chromogenic Factor VIII Inhibitor Bethesda Profile, Plasma.

Interpretation of CHF8P / Chromogenic Factor VIII Inhibitor Bethesda Profile, Plasma
Detecting the presence and titer of a specific factor inhibitor directed against coagulation factor VIII
This test is not useful for detecting the presence of inhibitors directed against other clotting factors and will not detect the presence of lupus anticoagulants.
Factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitors are IgG antibodies directed against coagulation FVIII that typically result in development of potentially life-threatening hemorrhage. These antibodies may be alloimmune: developing in patients with congenital FVIII deficiency (hemophilia A) in response to therapeutic infusions of factor VIII concentrate or autoimmune: occurring in patients without hemophilia (not previously factor VIII deficient) either spontaneously or during pregnancy or in association with autoimmune diseases.
Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see CHF8P / Chromogenic Factor VIII Inhibitor Bethesda Profile, Plasma.
An interpretive report will be provided.
The interpretive report will include assay information, background information, and conclusions based on the test results.
Contamination with excess heparin and hemodilution due to improper specimen collection through an intravenous access device or collection above a running intravenous fluid line may cause spurious results.
