Abstract

Background: In order to control the treatment of haemophilia patients, classical coagulation methods (APTT, FVIII (IX)) and global tests are used. One of the tests for a comprehensive coagulation assessment is thromboelastography (TEG), which can provide immediate results and reflect the hemostatic status of the patient during therapy. Some of the parameters obtained from the TEG can be compared with the coagulation tests since they describe similar processes of coagulation.

Purpose: To carry out a correlation analysis of TEG parameters with coagulation test parameters to determine the role of TEG in the control of prophylactic treatment and the development of inhibitors in patients with severe haemophilia A.

Materials and methods: 9 haemophilia A patients were treated with 45 ± 5 IU/kg of FVIII of body weight twice a week prophylactically an incremental recovery test (IR) at a dose of 60 ± 5 IU/kg body weight was performed. Prior to and after administration, TEG was performed and the PT, APTT, fibrinogen, FVIII, FVIII:Ag, vWF:Ag and the platelet count were measured. The possible dependencies of 10 TEG parameters (R, K, α-Angle, MA, TMA, SI, SP, G, LY30, TPI/c) and coagulation tests results were analyzed.

Results: Significant direct correlation of the R and SP on the PT and APTT was found (r > 0.71) prior to the administration of the FVIII concentrate. The negative average correlation between R and FVIII:Ag (r = ‑0.56) was established. The elongation of the PT and APTT and the decrease in the activity of FVIII:Ag causes a decrease in the total hemostatic potential of the SI in the direction of hypocoagulation (r = 0.75). Prior to administration of the calculated dose, the concentration of MA, TMA and α-Angel inclination strongly and directly depends on the level of vWF:Ag and platelet count (in all cases r > 0.7). After administration of the FVIII concentrate in haemophilia A patients, a significant positive correlation between the response time R and the APTT (r = 0.64) was found. The growth of the CІ coagulation index is associated with an increase in the level of FVIII: Ag (r = 0.75) and a shortening of the APTT (r = -0.76). Other dependencies between TEG parameters and hemostatic tests have not been established.

Conclusion: Correlation of TEG parameters and results of traditional coagulation tests characterized similar processes of coagulation and was revealed in haemophilia A patients on prophylactic treatment. For R, SI, SP depending on the values of the PT, APTT, FVIII: Ag, the end point is coagulation. MA, TMA, α-Angel depend on the level of vWF: Ag and platelet count which reflects the initiation of haemostasis and the strength of clot. TEG fully reflects the changes in hemostasis, so thromboelastography can be successfully applied to control the treatment and the development of FVIII (IX) inhibitors in hemophilia patients.
