The Factor VIII test measures the level of Factor VIII, a protein essential for blood clotting. Deficiency or dysfunction of Factor VIII can lead to bleeding disorders, most notably Hemophilia A.
Indications for Testing: Patients with unexplained bleeding, family history of bleeding disorders, or abnormal results in other coagulation tests.
Associated Risks:
Normal Factor VIII levels generally range from 50% to 150% of the normal reference range.
Values can vary based on the laboratory, and age, and can be influenced by other factors like pregnancy or certain medications.
Low Factor VIII Levels: Suggestive of Hemophilia A or other bleeding disorders.
Normal Levels: May rule out Factor VIII deficiency but does not exclude other clotting factor deficiencies or disorders.
<...Sample Required: Blood sample, typically collected in a citrated tube (commonly blue-top tube).
Preparation: The patient may need to fast or avoid certain medications before the test, as directed by their h...

Description
This assay is indicated in situations where there is a clinical suspicion of hemophilia A diagnosis, but the 1-stage factor VIII (FVIII) assay result is normal. However, recent guidelines recommend this assay be performed in addition to the 1-stage assay in the initial workup of hemophilia A.
