Abstract

Introduction Lupus anticoagulant (LA) is an antibody that interferes with one or more in vitro coagulation reactions, which are dependent on interactions with protein-phospholipid complexes. For LA diagnosis, a mixing test is considered useful for differentiating the inhibitor from a factor deficiency. However, the usefulness and the index of circulating anticoagulant (ICA) in a mixing test with activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) has not been adequately investigated, and there is scant information regarding the effects of warfarin, heparin, and hemophilia plasma on ICA. We evaluated the usefulness of ICA by investigating the correlation of that index with international normalized ratio (INR), heparin concentration, and factor VIII activity in hemophilia patients.Materials and methods We examined samples from 28 patients positive for LA, 23 receiving warfarin, 19 receiving unfractionated heparin, and 29 with hemophilia A, as well as 61 normal samples. APTT-SLA, Actin FSL, APTT-SP, and PTT-LA were used as reagents in this study.Results The correlation coefficient values between ICA and INR, heparin concentration, and factor VIII activity ranged from 0.031-0.342, 0.764-0.843, and 0.564-0.754, respectively, with the 4 reagents. The ICA values for the LA-positive samples were significantly higher than for the normal, warfarin, heparin, and hemophilia samples with all APTT reagents. Samples with a high heparin concentration above approximately 0.5U/ml showed ICA values greater than 15.Conclusion ICA was able to distinguish LA-positive samples from the normal, warfarin, and hemophilia samples, but not heparin samples. ICA calculated from APTT clotting time is useful for LA diagnosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
