Antihaemophilic factor A activity, F VIII-related antigen and von Wilebrand factor in hepatic cirrhosis. 1977

G Baele, and E Matthijs, and F Barbier

F VIII activity, F VIII-related antigen and von Willebrand factor were measured in 46 patients with hepatic cirrhosis and in 30 normal individuals. These parameters were significantly higher in hepatic cirrhosis than in the controls. Linear relationships between F VIII activity and F VIII-related antigen and between F VIII-related antigen and von Willebrand factor were found in patients with hepatic cirrhosis as well as in normal individuals. However, in both groups no relationship between F VIII activity and von Willebrand factor was present. The existence of a low-grade intravascular coagulation in hepatic cirrhosis may be postulated but more information about the metabolism of F VIII protein is needed before such a statement can be proven.

D005169 Factor VIII Factor VIII of blood coagulation. Antihemophilic factor that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. Factor VIII is produced in the liver and acts in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It serves as a cofactor in factor X activation and this action is markedly enhanced by small amounts of thrombin.

D014841 von Willebrand Factor A high-molecular-weight plasma protein, produced by endothelial cells and megakaryocytes, that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. The von Willebrand factor has receptors for collagen, platelets, and ristocetin activity as well as the immunologically distinct antigenic determinants. It functions in adhesion of platelets to collagen and hemostatic plug formation. The prolonged bleeding time in VON WILLEBRAND DISEASES is due to the deficiency of this factor.
