Cryoprecipitate is useful in
High-Yield Explanation
Cryoprecipitate is a source of fibrinogen, factor VIII, and von Willebrand factor (VWF). It is ideal for supplying fibrinogen to the volume-sensitive patient. Hemophilia A is treated with infusions of recombinant factor VIII. When factor VIII concentrates are not available, cryoprecipitate may be used because each unit contains approximately 80 units of factor VIII.Cryoprecipitate may also supply VWF to patients with dysfunctional (type II) or absent (type III) von Willebrand's disease.Harrison 19e pg: 138e-3
