Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a hemorrhagic disorder. Whether or not severe thrombotic events can develop without the use of bypassing agents in AHA patients is unclear. An 80-year-old woman with AHA underwent immunosuppressive therapy with prednisolone at 1 mg/kg daily. After achieving remission, she suddenly developed multiple organ failure due to acute systemic thrombosis and died within a few hours of the diagnosis. Patients with AHA, especially those with risk factors for thrombosis, have a considerable risk of developing thrombosis during the recovery phase of factor VIII activity and should be carefully monitored by coagulation testing.

Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:
