Ordering Recommendation

Use as an aid in the evaluation of unexplained prolonged partial thromboplastin time (PTT) or for patients with a significant probability of having antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). For APS, order with Cardiolipin Antibodies, IgG and IgM (0099344) and Beta-2 Glycoprotein 1 Antibodies, IgG and IgM (anti-beta2GP1) (0050321). For a list of components and reflex information, refer to the Additional Technical Information document.

Interpretive Data



Compliance Category

Modified FDA

Note

If PTT-LA Ratio and dRVVT Screen Ratio are normal, then no further testing is performed. If either the PTT-LA Ratio or dRVVT Screen Ratio are elevated, then Anti-Xa Qualitative Interpretation is added. If PTT-LA Ratio is elevated, then Thrombin Time is also added. If Anti-Xa Qualitative Interpretation is Present and Thrombin Time is greater than 30 seconds, then Hepzyme treatment is added. If PTT-LA Ratio is Normal and Anti-Xa Qualitative Interpretation is Present, or Thrombin Time is greater than 30 seconds, and Anti-Xa Qualitative Interpretation is Not Present, or Thrombin Time is less than 30 seconds, and Anti-Xa Qualitative Interpretation is Present, then DOAC-Stop treatment is added. If either Hepzyme or DOAC-Stop treatment is added, then Neutralized PTT-LA Ratio and/or Neutralized dRVVT Screen Ratio are added. If dRVVT Screen Ratio is elevated in the absence of Hepzyme or DOAC-Stop, or if Neutralized dRVVT Screen Ratio is elevated, then dRVVT 1:1 Mix Ratio and dRVVT Confirmation Ratio are added. If PTT-LA Ratio is elevated in the absence of Hepzyme or DOAC-Stop treatment, or if Neutralized PTT-LA Ratio is elevated, then Hexagonal Phospholipid Confirmation is added. Additional charges apply.
