31 Step 1: Prolonged phospholipid dependent screening assay No: stop Yes: Step 2: mixing study with normal pooled plasma Or a weak LAC Corrects: stop (Factor deficiency) Inhibited Step 3: phospholipid confirm Does not shorten: Alternative explanation FVIII inhibitor, drug effect etc Step 4: exclude other causes Shortens: LAC confirmed 2015 MFMER slide-61 Traditionally accepted criteria for a positive LAC Step 1. Prolongation of at least 1 of 2 phospholipid (PL) dependent clotting time tests based on different principles (APTT, DRVVT etc) Step 2. Inhibition: demonstrated by mixing study of patient and normal pooled plasma Step 3. Confirmation that the inhibitory activity is phospholpid (PL) dependent shortening of clotting time with addition of phospholipid Step 4. Exclusion/evaluation for other coagulopathies that may give similar laboratory results or yield false positive or indeterminate results (eg, anticoagulation therapy effects, coagulation factor inhibitor or deficiency) 2015 MFMER slide-62 31

32 Step 1: Prolonged phospholipid dependent screening assay No: stop Yes: Step 2: phospholipid confirm Does not shorten: Not LAC Shortens: LAC confirmed Step 3: mixing study with normal pooled plasma Corrects: factor deficiency Inhibited: Alternative explanation FVIII inhibitor, drug effect etc Step 4: exclude other causes 2015 MFMER slide-63 Analytic and Post Analytic: Calculation of ratios Screening clotting times should be normalized to the mean of reference interval (RI) Normalized screen ratio= patient APTT/mean of RI APTT But manufacturer's instructions should be followed MFMER slide-64 32

33 Analytic and Post Analytic: Calculation of ratios Confirmatory clotting times: Unpaired tests (APTT/PNP or Hex phase NT) Delta of screen and confirm Paired tests (drvvt) Normalized screen to confirm ratio = Screen patient /Screen mean of RI Confirm patient/ Confirm mean of RI 2015 MFMER slide-65 Generation of reference intervals CLSI document: EP28-A3c: Defining, establishing and verifying reference intervals in the Clinical Laboratory MFMER slide-66 33

34 Post analytical aspects: calculations and interpretation REPORTING & INTERPRETATION: 1. Numerical results of all testing should be reported with reference interval or cut off values 2. Interpretive comments that address and integrate all test results (LA panel) should be provided 3. The interpretive report should indicate whether LA is detected, not detected, or indeterminant. 4. If LA is present, the test panel should be repeated at or beyond 12 weeks to determine persistence of LA as part of the evaluation for LA 2015 MFMER slide-67 LA Testing Guidelines Review Selected Comparisons: ISTH SSC 2009 vs CLSI H60 A* ISTH SSC (2009) Cutoffs (Ref. Interval): 99% (nonparametric) drvvt first, then APTT APTT activator: Silica only, not Ellagic acid Tests not recommended: dpt, KCT, PNP, etc. Algorithm order: Screen, Mix, Confirmatory CLSI H60 A (2014) Cutoffs (Ref. Interval): +2SD (parametric) for each test Both drvvt & APTT screen APTT activator: no restriction (Silica, Ellagic acid, Kaolin) Does not restrict supplemental tests, if validated by lab Algorithm order: Screen, Confirmatory, Mix Normalized ratio reporting: relative to Normalized ratio reporting: relative to mean normal pool mean ref. interval *Table 3, Section 15: Harmonization excerpts 2015 MFMER slide-68 34
