Overall hemostasis potential and aPTT-clot waveform analysis as powerful laboratory diagnostic tools for identification of hemophilia A patients with unexpected bleeding phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Traditionally used laboratory methods do not always accurately reflect bleeding severity in hemophilia A (HA) patients. The ability of three global assays for identifying patients with unexpected bleeding phenotype was investigated. METHODS: Overall hemostasis potential (OHP), aPTT-clot waveform analysis (aPTT-CWA), endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), FVIII activities, and prothrombin fragment...
