title: Change of coagulation factor VIII and antithrombin III activity in bank-stored blood.
abstract: Coagulation factor VIII and antithrombin III activity were detected in 15 health donors. It was found that antithrombin III activity decreased obviously 12 h after blood drawing. It lost 56% of the activity at the 3rd day, and 70% of the activity at the 7th day. FVIII:c showed no obvious change after 24 h, until the 3rd day. It lost 40%-60% of the activity after 36 h and was reduced to the 30% of the original activity at the 5th day. Our results suggested that at the 3rd day coagulation factor VIII of bank-stored blood can be used to replenish antithrombin III, while bank-stored blood in one day can be used to replenish F VIII.
