Technical interpretation of inhibitor to factor VIII testing

 

This test is not useful for the detection of a lupus-like circulating anticoagulant inhibitor, a nonspecific circulating anticoagulant, or other inhibitors that are not specific for coagulation factors.

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

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

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see 8INHE / Factor VIII Inhibitor Evaluation, Plasma.

 

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

Occasionally, a potent lupus-like anticoagulant may cause false-positive results for a specific factor inhibitor (eg, factor VIII or IX).

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

If the factor VIII activity level is normal or elevated, a computer-generated interpretive comment will be provided indicating inhibitor testing was not indicated and was not performed.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Monday through Friday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

3 to 5 days

Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded

7 days

Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test
