Informations
Treatment for hemophilia A consists of injecting the missing Factor VIII by I.V. to prevent or stop the bleeding. A majority of the complications of this treatment are the development of antibodies against FVIII, called inhibitors.
The development of an anti-FVIII inhibitor leads to episodes of bleeding that are difficult to control.
The activity of the inhibitor is measured by a Bethesda test and is expressed in BU.
1BU neutralizes 50% of the activity of FVIII for hemophilia A.
