Use of purified fibrinogen concentrate for dysfibrinogenemia and importance of laboratory fibrinogen activity measurement.
Pediatric Blood & Cancer 2013 March
We report a patient with dysfibrinogenemia treated with purified fibrinogen concentrate who had discrepant post-treatment laboratory values. The patient had mild bleeding symptoms and was diagnosed with dysfibrinogenemia based on fibrinogen activity of 51 mg/dl and antigen of 240 mg/dl. He was treated for an adenoidectomy with purified fibrinogen concentrate (RiaSTAP®) at a dose of 70 mg/kg. A discrepancy in post-treatment fibrinogen activity was observed between the hospital and reference laboratories. Investigation revealed differences in laboratory assay and calibration methods. Fibrinogen concentrate may be a treatment option for patients with dysfibrinogenemia, but accurate laboratory technique is critical for fibrinogen measurement.
