    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Transfusion Medicine

    Background:

    • Factor IX concentrates are available due to fractionation technology.
    • Hepatitis is a known risk, but thrombosis is an emerging concern with Factor IX concentrate use.
    • Existing literature presents conflicting data on the incidence of thrombotic events.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence of thrombohemorrhagic phenomena following Factor IX concentrate infusion.
    • To identify potential thrombogenic factors associated with Factor IX concentrates.
    • To emphasize the need for safer Factor IX products.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective study analyzing thrombohemorrhagic events in patients receiving Factor IX concentrates.
    • Inclusion criteria: patients with congenital Factor IX deficiency (hemophilia B) or liver disease.

  • Data collection focused on documented thrombotic or hemorrhagic episodes post-infusion.
  • Main Results:

    • Twenty episodes of thrombohemorrhagic phenomena were observed in 188 cases.
    • The overall incidence of these events was 11% in the studied population.
    • This incidence rate underscores a significant risk associated with Factor IX concentrate administration.

    Conclusions:

    • Factor IX concentrates are associated with a notable incidence of thrombotic events (11%).
    • Further research is crucial to identify and remove thrombogenic factors from Factor IX products.
    • Ensuring the safety of Factor IX concentrates requires addressing these identified risks.
