Title: Factor IX thrombogenicity: in vivo effects on coagulation activation and a case report of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Author: Small M, Lowe GD, Douglas JT, Forbes CD, Prentice CR. Journal: Thromb Haemost; 1982 Aug 24; 48(1):76-7. PubMed ID: 7135346. Abstract: An episode of defibrination with bleeding following high dose Edinburgh Factor IX (D.E.F.IX) replacement in a patient with haemophilia B undergoing knee joint replacement is reported. We have also monitored plasma fibrinopeptide A levels in patients with haemophilia B following ten standard doses of D.E.F.IX (15-20 u/kg) and have been unable to document any change. Activation of the coagulation system, as previously noted, appears to be related to the use of Factor IX concentrates in high doses.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
