Association between Factor XIII Activity and Clinical Course in Pediatric Patients with Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis

CONCLUSIONS: Factor XIII activity was negatively correlated with the duration of hospitalization, total glucocorticoid dose, and duration of glucocorticoid administration. Factor XIII activity is not only associated with abdominal symptoms but also may be a marker to predict the overall trajectory of acute-phase treatment in pediatric patients with immunoglobulin A vasculitis.PMID:37661704 | PMC:PMC10501757
