Deficiency

Updated : December 13, 2022





 

factor X, human 

Factor X Deficiency
Indicated for adults and children with genetic factor X deficiency
:


Perioperative therapy of bleeding with mild, moderate, or severe genetic factor X deficiency, routine prophylaxis to lessen the frequency of bleeding episodes, and on-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes.
When the bottles are refilled using the sterile water for injection that comes with the kit, the final concentration is 100 IU/mL

Dosage Information
Individual clinical responses should be used to determine the dosage and frequency.
Administer no more than 60 IU/kg per day.
Determine the peak rise in factor X in vivo.
The dosage and duration are determined by the severity of the factor X deficiency, the location and extent of the bleeding, and the patient's clinical status.
Estimate the expected in vivo maximal increase in factor X expressed as IU/dL (or % of normal) using the following formula:
Estimated factor X Increment (IU/dL or % of Normal) = [Total Dose (IU)/Body Weight (kg)] x 2

Calculate factor X peak increase desired in vivo
The following formula may be used to determine the dosage required to produce the desired in vivo peak rise in factor X level:
The difference between the patient's plasma factor X and target levels is the desired factor X increase.
The dosage formula is based on the observed recovery of 2 IU/dL per IU/kg.

Treatment and management of bleeding episodes on demand
When bleeding appears for the first time, provide 25 IU/kg.
Continue doing this every 24 hours until the bleeding stops.

Management of haemorrhage during surgery
Before and after surgery, check each patient's post-infusion plasma factor X levels to ensure hemostatic levels are attained and maintained.
Presurgery: Use the following calculation to determine the dosage required for raising plasma factor X levels to 70-90 IU/dL: Body weight (kg) x Desired factor X Rise (IU/dL) x 0.5 = Required dosage (IU).
Postsurgery: Repeat the dosage as required until the patient is no longer in danger of bleeding, maintaining plasma factor X levels at a minimum of 50 IU/dL.

Prevention of bleeding episodes
25 mg Intravenous twice a week
It is advised that trough blood levels of FX be checked periodically due to inter- and intra-patient variability, particularly during the first several weeks of treatment or after dose adjustments.
Adapt the dosing schedule to the clinical response and minimum trough FX levels of 5 IU/dL.
The peak level of 120 IU/dL is not to be exceeded.



factor XIII A-subunit, recombinant 

Indicated for the regular stoppage of bleeding in people with congenital factor XIII A-subunit deficiency
:


Using a validated test, 35 IU/kg Intravenously once a month will provide the desired trough level of FXIII activity of ≥10%.
The dosage may be adjusted if the prescribed dose (i.e., 35 IU/kg/month) does not produce satisfactory results.



fibrinogen, human 


Indicated for Fibrinogen deficiency
RiaSTAP drug
Dose (mg/kg) = [Target levels (mg/dL) - measured levels (mg/dL)] ÷ 1.7 (mg/dL/mg/kg of body weight) as Intravenously
70 mg/kg intravenously, if the fibrinogen baseline levels are unknown
Target fibrinogen level: 100mg/dl till the hemostasis
Fibryga drug
Dose (mg/kg) = [Target levels (mg/dL) - measured levels (mg/dL)] ÷ 1.8 (mg/dL/mg/kg of body weight) as Intravenously
70 mg/kg intravenously, if the fibrinogen baseline levels are unknown
Target fibrinogen (minor bleeding) level: 100 mg/dL
Target fibrinogen (major bleeding) level: 150 mg/dL
If the fibrinogen level is less than the accepted lower limit (i.e., minor bleeding: 80 mg/dl, major bleeding: 130 mg/dl), administer an additional dose till the targeted levels of hemostasis are achieved

<12 years: Estimated Increase of factor X (IU/dL or % of normal) = [Total Dose (IU)/Body Weight (kg)] x 1.7
>12 years: Estimated Increase of factor X (IU/dL or % of normal) = [Total Dose (IU)/Body Weight (kg)] x 2
Calculate factor X peak increase desired in vivo
The following formula may be used to determine the dosage required to produce the desired in vivo peak rise in factor X level:
<12 years: Body Weight (kg) x Desired factor X Rise (IU/dL) x 0.6 = Dose (IU)
>12 years: Body Weight (kg) x Desired factor X Rise (IU/dL) x 0.5 = Dose (IU)
The difference between the patient's plasma factor X and target levels is the desired factor X increase.
The dosage formula is based on the observed recovery of 2 IU/dL per IU/kg.
Treatment and management of bleeding episodes on demand
When bleeding appears for the first time, provide
>12 years: 25 IU/kg intravenous
<12 years: 30 IU/kg intravenous
Continue doing this every 24 hours until the bleeding stops.

Management of haemorrhage during surgery
Before and after surgery, check each patient's post-infusion plasma factor X levels to ensure that hemostatic levels are attained and maintained.
Presurgery: Use the following calculation to determine the dosage required for raising plasma factor X levels to 70-90 IU/dL: Body weight (kg) x Desired factor X Rise (IU/dL) x 0.5 = Required dosage (IU).
