Her body weight is approximately 80 kg. The recom- mended dose of Humate-P is 40 units per kg of body weight. The dose should be 3,200 units. As a personal observation, the desired effects of Humate-P can be achieved if the infusion begins earlier. I would recommend giving the first dose the night be- fore the day of delivery. Continue giving it every 12 hours for three to five days. Ahmed Hamandi, MD Child Welfare Hospital Baghdad, Iraq I think the ideal dose of Humate-P for the weight of the patient is 3,000 units in a single dose with subsequent monitoring of vWF activity, maintaining an activity of 100 percent. The amount of factor is increased physi- ologically throughout pregnancy, especially during the third trimester. Maintain levels increased above 100 percent even during the first week postpartum.
