Title:
METHOD FOR DETECTING LUPUS ANTICOAGULANTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/173259
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a simple method for detecting lupus anticoagulants without using blood plasma from healthy individuals, which is capable of distinguishing between blood-coagulation-factor deficiencies, even in blood samples originating from patients undergoing anticoagulant therapies using warfarin, heparin, or the like, without being affected by said anticoagulant therapies. The method for detecting lupus anticoagulants is characterized in that it involves the following three steps, (A), (B) and (C): (A) a step in which a buffering solution composition containing blood coagulation factors is added to a blood sample and to a diluted sample of said blood sample both before and during the measurement of the blood coagulation time; (B) a step in which the blood coagulation time is measured for each of the samples from step (A); and (C) a step in which the blood coagulation times of each of the samples obtained in step (B) are compared.
