LUPUS ANTICOAGULANT BY dRVVT Test
Test Name: LUPUS ANTICOAGULANT BY dRVVT Test
Components: Price: 400.0 AED
Sample Condition: 3 mL whole blood in 1 Blue Top (Sodium Citrate) tube. Mix thoroughly by inversion. Transport to Lab within 4 hours. If this is not possible, make PPP within 1 hour of collection as follows: Centrifuge sample at 3600 rpm for 15 min. & transfer supernatant to a clean plastic tube. Centrifuge this supernatant again at 3600 rpm for 15 min. & finally transfer the supernatant (PPP) to 1 labelled clean plastic screw capped vial. FREEZE IMMEDIATELY. Ship frozen. DO NOT THAW. Overnight fasting is preferred. Duly filled Coagulation Requisition Form(Form 15) is mandatory.
Report Delivery: Sample Daily by 3 pm; Report Next day
Method: Electromechanical Clot Detection
Test type: Thromboembolic Disorders
Doctor: Hematologist
Test Department: COAGULATION
Pre Test Information: Overnight fasting is preferred. It is recommended that the patient discontinues Heparin for 1 day and Oral Anticoagulants for 7 days prior to sampling as these drugs may affect test results. Discontinuation should be with prior consent from the treating Physician. Duly filled Coagulation Requisition Form (Form 15) is mandatory.
Test Details: The dRVVT (dilute Russell viper venom time) test is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of lupus anticoagulant (LA) in the blood. Lupus anticoagulant is an antibody that can interfere with the normal clotting process and increase the risk of abnormal blood clot formation. During the dRVVT test, a patient’s blood is mixed with a reagent that contains dilute Russell viper venom. This venom activates certain clotting factors in the blood, allowing the laboratory technician to measure the time it takes for the blood to clot. If lupus anticoagulant is present in the blood, it will interfere with the clotting process and prolong the clotting time. The dRVVT test is often used in conjunction with other tests, such as the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and the prothrombin time (PT), to diagnose and monitor patients with suspected lupus anticoagulant. A positive result on the dRVVT test suggests the presence of lupus anticoagulant and may indicate an increased risk of abnormal blood clotting. It’s important to note that a positive result on the dRVVT test does not necessarily mean that a person has lupus or will develop blood clotting problems. Further testing and evaluation by a healthcare professional are usually required to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan.
