Controllab has already made available the recording of the Online Meeting “Laboratory Diagnosis of Lupus Anticoagulant”. The class was conducted by Dr. Rosana Cosentino Penteado, a hematologist from the Diagnostic Medicine Department at Hospital Albert Einstein, specialized in hematology and coagulation.
What was covered in the class?
During the presentation, the specialist highlighted the importance of performing the lupus anticoagulant test safely and effectively for the diagnosis of Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS), especially in thrombotic events and pregnancy complications. She also emphasized that the variability of results between laboratories and reagents represents a challenge for laboratory diagnosis.
According to Dr. Rosana, “the lupus anticoagulant test is essential for diagnosing APS, a serious disease with high mortality and morbidity rates. If not diagnosed in time, it can lead to severe consequences, requiring lifelong treatment for the patient. That’s why adopting guidelines and fostering collaboration among professionals are crucial to ensure consistent results, regardless of the laboratory performing the test”.
The meeting also addressed the following aspects:
Classification criteria for APS.
Pre-analytical considerations that impact test reliability.
Recommendations for test execution, according to the 2020 ISTH guideline.
Challenges faced by laboratories in daily practice, from standardizing procedures to interpreting test results.
The importance of careful interpretation, since the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies alone does not confirm an APS diagnosis.
In-depth knowledge of the disease, which is essential for accurate diagnosis and proper patient management.
