Abstract
Background
Clot waveform analysis (CWA) reportedly enhances the interpretation of clotting time measurement. This study aimed to compare CWA between prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) assays for better understanding how to apply CWA for assessing effects of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
Methods
Samples were prepared by spiking plasma with rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, or dabigatran. To compensate the influence of fibrinogen, CWA parameters were adjusted by unifying maximum changes in transmittance in clotting reaction curves detected by the optical system.
Results
Non-adjusted PT-CWA parameters unexpectedly rose at low drug concentrations but declined at high drug concentrations while adjusted PT-CWA parameters exhibited dose-dependent decrease. Both non-adjusted and adjusted APTT-CWA parameters showed dose-dependent decrease. Adjusted CWA parameters were applicable to Hill plot analysis. All DOACs exhibited Hill coefficients indicating positively cooperative effects regarding most adjusted PT-CWA parameters. Regarding adjusted APTT-CWA parameters, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban exhibited Hill coefficients indicating no or negatively cooperative effects. The observed differences between PT-CWA and APTT-CWA suggested the implication of thrombin positive feedback in DOAC effects.
Conclusion
The results revealed distinct features of DOAC effects in extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. To ascertain the clinical implication, further studies using clinical samples are needed.
期刊介绍：
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
