Impact of a Commercially Available DOAC Absorbent on Two Integrated Procedures for Lupus Anticoagulant Detection
Abstract
Background Lupus anticoagulant (LA)-detection in anticoagulated patients is an unmet need, which becomes even more cogent with the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) that may lead to false-positive results. Aims We aimed to investigate the effect of a commercially available DOAC absorbent on residual drug concentrations, and on integrated procedures for LA-detection. Methods Blood from patients treated for atrial fibrillation with either dabigatran (n = 39), rivaroxaban (n = 55), apixaban (n = 47) or edoxaban (n = 47) were collected at peak and trough, and centralized for testing with two LA integrated procedures [i.e., the silica clotting time (SCT) and dilute Russel viper venom (dRVVT)] before and after DOAC absorbent exposure. Results The commercially available DOAC absorbent investigated in this study proved effective in reducing the concentrations of all the investigated DOAC, although small residual drug was detected after absorption, especially in patients on edoxaban. Results mimicking LA were observed in patients on DOAC before absorbent exposure, especially for rivaroxaban when testing was performed with dRVVT (88% rate at peak and 20% at trough) and much less with SCT (12% at peak and 8% at trough). The correspondent rate of results mimicking LA in patients on rivaroxaban after exposure was reduced [dRVVT (peak 8%, trough 4%); SCT (peak and trough 8%)], but not abolished. Conclusions Overall, in vitro DOAC absorbance by active charcoal compounds is a…

Both DOAC removal strategies (absorbents and filtration) can provide incomplete drug removal or influence the clotting times, resulting in possible false positives and false negatives in LA testing.

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.
