Coagulation factor XIII/13 (FXIII/13) stabilizes fibrin molecules by creating crosslinks with other fibrin molecules as well as with α2-plasmin inhibitor (α2-PI). “Hemorrhagic acquired FXIII/13 deficiency” was formerly considered rare, but has been increasing recently in Japan. During the 10 months of our nationwide campaign, we diagnosed five new patients with “acquired hemorrhaphilia due to anti-FXIII/13 autoantibodies,” after examining 20 newly suspected cases of “hemorrhagic acquired FXIII/13 deficiency.” When FXIII/13 activity was reduced to less than 50% of normal, it was proportional to the difference in α2-PI levels between plasma and serum (plasma–serum α2-PI), likely due to its cross-linking to fibrin by activated FXIII/13. Accordingly, decreased amounts of the plasma–serum α2-PI ex vivo may reflect reduced FXIII/13 activity in vivo. The plasma–serum α2-PI may thus also be a useful diagnostic marker for severe FXIII/13 deficiency.
