* Δ IU/dL is defined as Target Level (VWF:RC0) - Baseline Level (VWF:RCo) These calculations are to be used only with Humate-P® and are applicable for the treatment of VWD and for the prevention of excessive bleeding during and after surgery in all VWD types. General Rule: Doses are calculated based on an expected in vivo recovery of 2.0 IU/dL rise in VWF:RCo activity per every IU/kg of VWF:RCo administered.Please see full dosing recommendations for VWD. Humate-P® is contraindicated in individuals with a history of anaphylactic or severe systemic response to antihemophilic factor or von Willebrand factor preparations, or to any of its components. Thromboembolic events have been reported in VWD patients receiving coagulation factor replacement, especially in the setting of known risk factors for thrombosis. Caution should be exercised and antithrombotic measures considered. Humate-P® is derived from human plasma. As with all plasma-derived products, the risk of transmission of infectious agents, including viruses and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent, cannot be completely eliminated. Although few adverse reactions have been reported in patients receiving Humate-P®, the most commonly reported are allergic-anaphylactic reactions, including urticaria, chest tightness, rash, pruritus, edema, shock, chills and fever, and hypervolemia. For patients undergoing surgery, the most common adverse reactions are postoperative wound or injection-site bleeding.
