Trials and tribulations in lupus anticoagulant testing.
This issue of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine includes a report by Pradella and colleagues regarding a cooperative multicentre study to define the upper limits of normal for several tests used in the diagnostic assessment of lupus anticoagulant (LA) [1] . In total, 200 normal samples were assessed, comprising 40 from each of five centres, for a total of six functional LA assays. Each...
متن کاملBudd-Chiari syndrome as the major thrombotic complication of systemic lupus erythematosus with the lupus anticoagulant.
A patient with systemic lupus erythematosus was first diagnosed after she had developed the Budd-Chiari syndrome. We believe that the Budd-Chiari syndrome was part of her tendency for thrombosis, induced by the presence of a lupus anticoagulant. The association between enhanced thrombosis and the lupus anticoagulant is discussed, and the need for prompt recognition and administration of anticoa...
متن کاملDevelopment of consensus guidelines for anticardiolipin and lupus anticoagulant testing.
Interlaboratory and intermethod variation in commercial and in-house tests used for the measurement of anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and lupus anticoagulant (LA) limit the diagnostic value of the results from these tests. This short review summarizes published and unpublished guidelines (some developed using consensus procedures) on aCL and LA testing that are aimed at decreasing assay varia...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk factors are major determinants of thrombotic risk in patients with the lupus anticoagulant
BACKGROUND Patients with the lupus anticoagulant (LA) are at an increased risk of thrombotic events, which in turn increase the risk of death. Understanding the determinants of thrombotic risk in patients with LA may pave the way towards targeted thromboprophylaxis. In the Vienna Lupus Anticoagulant and Thrombosis Study (LATS), we systematically evaluate risk factors for thrombotic events in pa...
متن کاملPost-thrombotic sequelae preventable with anticoagulant therapy.
AFTERi FIVE YEARS of duty as a military physician in the war, I felt a strong nrge to carry on some research investiganion. As conditionls for this were very poor in Finiland at that time, I left for Stockholm, where my former teacher of physiology, Prof. R. Granit, working at the Karolinska Institutet, did me the great favor of introducing me to Prof. Erik Jorpes in December 1944. By that time...
