Clinical Information
Factor IX inhibitors arise in patients with severe hemophilia B after factor IX transfusion. Patients with factor IX inhibitors may also develop anaphylactic reactions in response to factor IX infusions. Acquired factor IX inhibitors, occurring in previously healthy people, are exceedingly rare.
Reference Values
Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see 9INHE / Factor IX Inhibitor Evaluation, Plasma.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
When testing is complete, if factor activity results fall within clinically normal ranges, an interpretive comment will be provided noting that inhibitor testing was not indicated and, therefore, not performed. If factor activity indicates the performance of inhibitor screen testing, an interpretive comment will be provided noting the presence or absence of a factor IX inhibitor.
Cautions
Occasionally, a potent lupus-like anticoagulant may cause false-positive testing for a specific factor inhibitor (eg, factor VIII or IX).
Method Description
If the factor IX activity level is normal or elevated, a computer-generated interpretive comment indicating inhibitor testing was not indicated and was not performed will be provided.(Unpublished Mayo method)
