Prothrombin Complex Concentrate Market Projected to Grow Steadily During 2018 -Posted by ankush Nikam on July 26th, 2018 Prothrombin complex concentrate is a combination of blood clotting factors used to treat and prevent bleeding in patients having factor IX deficiency. These clotting factors are the proteins that control bleeding by working together in a cascade of chemical reactions. Patients with life-threatening bleeding urgently require the replacement of these coagulation factors. In this case, prothrombin complex concentrate serves as a concentrated source of the required coagulation factors. Commercially, 2 types of prothrombin complex concentrates are available: 3-factor PCC and 4-factor PCC. There are also low doses of coagulation inhibitors present in PCC, such as protein C, protein S, and heparin, depending on the formulation type. As per various scientific studies, the 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate is responsible for the faster reversal of warfarin-induced bleeding and has fewer side-effects compared to 3-factor PCC.

PCCs also do not require any cross-matching and can be rapidly administered and have minimal risk of infection. Prothrombin complex concentrate is recommended in comparison to other treatment options, such as therapeutic plasma, for the fast reversal of vitamin K antagonists. The compound is extracted from the cryoprecipitate supernatant of large plasma pools using ion-exchange chromatography after the removal of antithrombin & factor XI. Different processing technologies are employed for the production of either 3-factor or 4-factor concentrate. The final concentrate has the ratio of clotting factors several times higher than normal plasma. Prothrombin complex concentrate Market: Drivers & Restraints Development of novel technologies for the production and purification of a large amount of concentrates also promote market growth. Several advantages of prothrombin complex concentrate over fresh-frozen plasma support the market growth of prothrombin complex concentrate. In addition to this, increasing patient care, development of advanced healthcare facilities as well as rising number of trauma cases will also support the market growth. Significantly higher costs, lack of approval in various countries and associated risks, such as thromboembolic complications, immediate allergic reactions and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, are some of the factors limiting the market growth of prothrombin complex concentrate.
