Abstract

Objectives Presence of lupus anticoagulants (LA) in haemophilia and their interference in coagulation assays is well-known. Factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitors are generally time and temperature dependent whereas LAs are immediate acting inhibitors (IAIs). The present study reports the challenges in laboratory detection of both progressive and non-progressive, specific FVIII inhibitors in the presence of LA.Methods From 2012 through 2015, 4900 HA patients were screened for inhibitors. APTT based inhibitor screening tests and Nijmegen-modified Bethesda assay (NBA) were done in all samples. LA test and FVIII inhibitors by ELISA were done in patients with IAIs.Results Out of 451 patients positive for inhibitors in the initial screening tests, classical and progressive FVIII inhibitors were observed in 398 patients while 53 had IAIs showing no/partial correction in 1:1 mixtures of NPP and patient plasma. In 27 patients, both FVIII and FIX activity levels were <1%, resulting in difficulty in diagnosis. In 48 HA patients with IAIs, 42 were LA positive. 4 patients were found to have only LA with false positive results in NBA while 38 had a combination of LA and FVIII inhibitors. Six patients were LA negative and had only FVIII IAIs. Five (62.5%) of 8 HA patients initiated on immune tolerance induction (ITI) also were positive for IAIs.Conclusion The findings emphasizes the presence of specific FVIII inhibitors in congenital HA with absence of time dependent inactivation kinetics in a small proportion of cases. ELISA or chromogenic assays along with LA testing can offer accurate laboratory diagnosis in patients with coexisting LA.

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.
