A 60-year-old female who has a history significant for diabetes, depression, and rheumatoid arthritis presented with a progressively enlarging hematoma of the left upper extremity. She was found to have an enlarging hematoma and an isolated elevation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Lab work-up revealed low factor VIII activity levels and inhibitor titers at 13.38 Bethesda units (BU). Dilute Russell’s viper venom time (dRVVT) revealed a lupus anticoagulant. Hemostasis was achieved with factor VIII inhibitor bypassing activity (FEIBA) and inhibitor eradication with-rituxan after the failure of first-line treatment with cyclophosphamide and prednisone.

SummaryVarious factor IX concentrates have been examined in a number of in vitro tests of thrombogenicity. The results suggest that some tests are superfluous as in concentrates with activity in any of these tests activation is revealed by a combination of the non-activated partial thromboplastin time, the thrombin (or Xa) generation time and factor VIII inhibitor bypassing activity tests. Assay of individual coagulant enzymes revealed that most concentrates contained more factor IXa than Xa. However only a small number of concentrates, chiefly those that had been purposefully activated, contained appreciable amounts of either enzyme.

A method is presented using a new reagent containing propylgallate for the quantitative determina tion of lupus anticoagulant. The amount of an optimized phospholipid standard required by the clotting reaction was found to be 32-50 μg/ml at a 95% confidence level, with a mean of 41 μg/ml. This method eliminates the ef fect of heparin therapy, coumadin therapy, factor-VIII inhibitor, factor-IX inhibitor, and single-factor deficien cies that afflict presently used lupus anticoagulant screen ing and confirmatory procedures. Using this method, it should be possible to detect lupus anticoagulant in pa tients at a much lower level and follow the effect of ther apy on lupus anticoagulant.
