Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare hemorrhagic autoimmune disorder characterized by autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). In approximately half of the cases AHA does not recognize any cause (idiopathic form), while in the other cases it may be triggered by autoimmune disorders, cancers, drugs, infections, or pregnancy. Besides treating the underlying disorder, specific AHA treatment includes management of bleeding, if necessary, and inhibitor eradication.
AREAS COVERED: This narrative review summarizes the main epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and therapeutic characteristics of AHA. In particular, it is focused on the current therapeutic options for the inhibitor eradication, also showing the latest findings on the innovative therapies. A literature search strategy was performed, without temporal limits, through Medline and PubMed electronic databases.
EXPERT OPINION: Various first-line and second-line immunosuppressive agents are currently available for the management of AHA. Among the latter, the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab has been the object of intense research during the last years from investigators as innovative promising eradicating therapy for AHA. Preliminary data from the studies support the use of this drug as a first-line option for newly diagnosed AHA cases.
