Factor VIII, factor IX and fibrinogen content in cryoprecipitate, fresh plasma and cryoprecipitate-removed plasma.
In order to provide accurate information for physicians, factor VIII, factor IX and fibrinogen content were determined in 40 bags of cryoprecipitate, fresh plasma and cryoprecipitate-removed plasma. A cryoprecipitate bag with a volume of 21.8 +/- 5.3 ml contained 139.5 +/- 42.9 units of factor VIII and 200.0 +/- 80.0 mg of fibrinogen. Fresh plasma with a volume of 208.0 +/- 22.5 ml contained 180.9 +/- 45.3 of factor IX, significantly higher than in cryoprecipitate-removed plasma. It was also found in this study that group O blood showed a significantly lower level of factor VIII.
