[Factor VIII activity and factor VIII-associated antigen in healthy newborns and in newborns with stressing perinatal factors].
Factor VIII coagulation activity (VIII:C) and factor VIII associated antigen (VIII:AGN) were determined in healthy newborns and in children with charging perinatal factors ("risk children"). VIII:C values of healthy newborns may be compared with those of grown-ups with normal coagulation. Risk children have somewhat higher values than newborns, the difference, however, being statistically not significant. The concentration of VIII:AGN is clearly increased in both groups on the first day of life. Moreover, VIII:AGN is being eliminated more slowly in risk children. The increased VIII:AGN concentrations are considered as a sequel of stress conditions caused by birth, whereas the discrepancy between VIII:C and VIII:AGN is due to a thrombin effect.
