Hello @kathiemk and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. As you know, this is a patient-to-patient support group.
I have found a few members of Connect who have discussed this as either they or a family member has been told that they have this Factor VIII. I would like to invite them to discuss their experiences with you, @heidi2020, @moo1 @jenhaz @garlamba @crackerjack and @karaf8.
Have you been found to have high factor VIII after suffering a stroke or are you inquiring about a family member? If so, what has your doctor said about it?

It was found after suffering a stroke (a current routine test done at rehab hospital I was at). But, it didn’t trigger them not to recommend Warfarin as a blood thinner to my primary care dr. resulting in brain/body bleeds for me. 3 trips to 2 hospitals in 4 days….
