Factor VIII replacement administration

Antihemophilic factor [9001-28-9] (AHF) is a protein found in normal plasma that is necessary for clot formation. It is needed for transformation of prothrombin to thrombin. Administration of AHF by injection or infusion can temporarily correct the coagulation defect present in patients with hemophilia. Antihemophilic factor VIII (Alpha Therapeutic) has been approved by the FDA as replacement therapy in patients with hemophilia B to prevent bleeding episodes, and also during surgery to correct defective hemostasis (178). [Pg.311]
