The Role of the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Unit in the Management of the Patients with Acquired Hemophilia

Hemostatic and immunosuppressive therapy is essential in AHA, and it should be started as soon as possible in patients with bleeding. However, a significant delay in diagnosis was observed in these cases. The absence of mortality is likely attributable to the management of the disease within a specialized hemostasis and thrombosis unit, which offers a clinical ward, a specialized laboratory, and a dedicated ambulatory service. The Italian Society for the Study of Haemostasis and Thrombosis is working to secure recognition of this essential role in every hospital.
