| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Thrombelastography has received renewed interest in the perioperative setting. The main determinants of thrombelastographic results are coagulation factor concentrations (various zymogens and fibrinogen) and platelet count; thus, platelet inhibition renders these assays mainly coagulation factor dependent. Assays with and without platelet inhibition are thus increasingly used to trigger and monitor replacement therapy with blood products. In this study, we evaluated the effect of factor XIII inhibition and additional glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa blockade on (platelet-inhibited) whole blood thrombelastography and whether a modified routine assay (using factor XIII antibody) can be used to detect factor XIII deficiency. METHODS: Normal whole blood was incubated with increasing amounts of a nonspecific antibody, an anti-GPIIb/IIIa antibody, or a neutralizing anti-factor XIII antibody; samples were analyzed with a tissue factor-activated and platelet-inhibited whole blood thrombelastographic assay. Clotting time, clot formation time, maximum clot firmness, and clot lysis at 60 min were evaluated in triplicate. Also, 25 whole blood routine samples were evaluated for factor XIII deficiency using a new thrombelastographic assay incorporating a factor XIII antibody and using a standard factor XIII assay for comparison. RESULTS: Although GPIIb/IIIa inhibition did not alter the results of the platelet-inhibited whole blood thrombelastography, factor XIII inhibition significantly reduced maximum clot firmness (P = 0.020) and increased clot formation time (P = 0.025) and clot lysis (P = 0.007), leaving clotting time unchanged; a ceiling effect seemed to be present with increasing antibody concentrations in whole blood (but not plasma). The thrombelastographic assay for factor XIII deficiency (<70% activity) had a 90% sensitivity and negative predictive value (area under receiver operating characteristic curve 0.803, P = 0.0015); for a deficiency <60%, sensitivity and negative predictive value were 100% (area under receiver operating characteristic curve 0.84, P = 0.0037). CONCLUSION: Factor XIII has significant impact on platelet-inhibited activated whole blood thrombelastography. This phenomenon should be considered when interpreting thrombelastographic results in the bleeding patient, especially when the results trigger procoagulant therapy. Antibody-mediated factor XIII inhibition can be used to establish thrombelastography-based assays to detect factor XIII deficiency. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
