Clinical Information
Significant bleeding can result from the presence of a coagulation factor inhibitor and could be life threatening. Whether the inhibitor is present due to hemophilia or is of an acquired nature, it greatly complicates the treatment process of a decreased factor level. The titer of the inhibitor may determine the mode of treatment. Bethesda units are a standardization to give a uniform definition of an inhibitor.
