Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel fokussiert auf neuen Erkenntnissen bei der Behandlung von Blutungskomplikationen
unter Antikoagulation mit einem NOAK, auf der Diagnostik und Therapie bei Heparin-induzierter
Thrombozytopenie sowie auf der Indikation für eine Behandlung mit Plasmapräparaten
bei Patienten mit Leberzirrhose. Er beschribt eine neue Behandlungsoption der erworbenen
Hemmkörperhämophilie gegen Faktor VII.
Abstract
The phase III non-vitamin K dependent oral anticoagulants (NOAC) studies and recently
published real world data on the use of dabigatran and rivaroxaban have shown that
the bleeding profile in particular of intracranial and other life-threatening bleeding
of NOAC is more favourable than that of warfarin. In case of a bleeding complication
in a patient treated with a NOAC the recently updated EHRA practical guide offers
management strategies. Idarucizumab, the specific antidot for dabigatran is approved
to reverse the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran-treated patients who have serious
bleeding and require an urgent procedure. Andexanet alfa, a specific antidot for direct
and indirect factor Xa-inhibitors will be available in the future. The frequency of
thrombocytopenia in ICU patients is high whereas the heparin induced thrombocytopenia
(HIT) only counts for a small minority of patients with thrombocytopenia. To avoid
an overdiagnosis of HIT a reliable and complete clinical and laboratory workup has
to be performed. New immunoassays have been developed to provide results within a
short period of time. These tests appear to have improved diagnostic accuracy compared
with ELISAs in patients with suspected HIT and may reduce misdiagnosis and overtreatment.
Acquired haemophilia (AH) is a rare and often life threatening bleeding disorder caused
by autoantibodies against factor VIII. Susoctocog alfa is a B-domain deleted recombinant
factor VIII porcine sequence that has recently been approved to treat severe bleeding
in patients with AH. Susoctocog alfa offers the ability to effectively titrate and
monitor dosing based on factor VIII activity levels.
