Freeze dried cryoprecipitate: a clinical evaluation

J Clin Pathol. 1983 May;36(5):574-6. doi: 10.1136/jcp.36.5.574.

Abstract

Freeze dried cryoprecipitate was used in the treatment of 14 patients with haemophilia A. The in vivo recovery was 91.2% which is comparable to that reported from other parts of Europe. The product was efficacious and no adverse effects were reported. Freeze dried cryoprecipitate is the high yield product of a low technology process and as such may be of value in reducing any possible shortfall in the factor VIII requirements of the haemophiliac population of the UK.
