Testing begins with coagulation factor VII activity assay with dilutions to evaluate assay inhibition; if the factor VII activity assay is normal or increased, a technical interpretation will be provided. If the factor VII activity assay is decreased, an inhibitor screen will be performed at an additional charge to look for specific factor VII inhibition and a professional interpretation will be provided. If specific inhibition is apparent, the titer of the inhibitor will be determined.

Coagulation factor inhibitors arise in patients who are congenitally deficient in a specific factor in response to factor replacement therapy, or can occur spontaneously without known cause or in response to a variety of medical conditions including the postpartum state, immunologic disorders, certain antibiotic therapies, some malignancies, and old age.
Inhibitors of factor VIII coagulant activity are the most commonly occurring of the specific factor inhibitors.

Normally, there is no inhibitor, ie, negative result.
If the screening assays indicate the presence of an inhibitor, it will be quantitated and reported in Bethesda (or equivalent) units.

Screening for inhibitors of specific coagulation factors is represented by the inhibitor assay for factor VII. This assay consists of measuring the difference in factor VII activity (prothrombin time based assay) before and after incubation of a mixture of normal plasma and patient's plasma for 1 hour at 37 degrees C. For optimal sensitivity, the factor VII value of the normal plasma is adjusted to approximately 20% because the factor VII assay is more sensitive in this area of the curve. In addition, an excess of patient's plasma will make the test more sensitive to small amounts of inhibitors.(Owen CA Jr, Bowie EJW, Thompson JH Jr: The Diagnosis of Bleeding Disorders. Second edition. Little, Brown, and Company, 1975, pp 143-145; Meijer P, Verbruggen and Spannagi M: Chapter 33: Clotting factors and inhibitors: Assays and Interpretation. In Laboratory Hematology Practice. Edited by K Kottke-Marchant. Wiley Blackwell Publishing, 2012, pp 435-446)
If the inhibitor screen is positive for an inhibitor of factor VII, the inhibitor will be quantitated by the "Bethesda assay." In the Bethesda procedure, inhibitors are quantified by mixing equal volumes of serially diluted plasma with normal plasma. This mixture is incubated 2 hours at 37 degrees C, and its factor VII activity is measured and compared to a control run at the same time. The difference between the factor VII activity of the patient's incubation mixture and that of the control is used to calculate titer. The residual factor VII activity is converted to "Bethesda units": 50% residual factor VII is equal to 1 Bethesda unit.(Kasper CK, Aldedort LM, Counts RB, et al: A more uniform measurement of factor VIII inhibitors.
