Antiphospholipid antibodies: evaluation of the thrombotic riskKatrien M J Devreese
Coagulation Laboratory, Department of Clinical Chemistry, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
Thromb Res 130:S37-40. 2012..Multiple positivity of tests seems clinically more relevant. The strengths and weaknesses of the current laboratory criteria for APS are discussed in view of their role in risk stratification of patients with thrombotic events...
Standardization of antiphospholipid antibody assays. Where do we stand?K M J Devreese
Coagulation Laboratory, Department of Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, Ghent University Hospital, Gent, Belgium
Lupus 21:718-21. 2012..The use of an international standard for aPL detection might help solve many of the problems caused by a lack of standardization of these assays...
Interpretation of normal plasma mixing studies in the laboratory diagnosis of lupus anticoagulantsKatrien M J Devreese
Department of Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, Laboratory for Clinical Biology, Ghent University Hospital, De Pintelaan, 185 2P8, B 9000 Ghent, Belgium
Thromb Res 119:369-76. 2007..Since there is no standardised interpretation of results of mixing studies, percent correction formulas are proposed. The sensitivity of mixing studies strongly depends on the interpretation of the results...
A functional coagulation test to identify anti-beta2-glycoprotein I dependent lupus anticoagulantsKatrien M J Devreese
Coagulation Laboratory, Laboratory for Clinical Biology, Department of Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, Ghent University Hospital, De Pintelaan, 185 2P8, B 9000 Ghent, Belgium
Thromb Res 119:753-9. 2007....
Evaluation of new commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits in the laboratory diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome in view of the revised classification criteria of the antiphospholipid syndromeKatrien Mj Devreese
Coagulation Laboratory, Department of Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis 17:651-9. 2006..LAC and APA assays, however, remain essential in the laboratory diagnosis of APS...
Laboratory diagnosis of the antiphospholipid syndrome: a plethora of obstacles to overcomeKatrien Devreese
Department of Clinical Chemistry, Coagulation Laboratory, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
Eur J Haematol 83:1-16. 2009..The strengths and weaknesses of the current laboratory guidelines are discussed against our current insight in the physiopathology of APS...
Thrombotic risk assessment in the antiphospholipid syndrome requires more than the quantification of lupus anticoagulantsKatrien Devreese
Coagulation Laboratory, Department of Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology, and Immunology, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
Blood 115:870-8. 2010..Hence, LAC and anti-beta2GPI IgG titers, when combined with selected markers of the hypercoagulable state, allow a relevant thrombotic risk assessment in nearly all patients with LACs...
Challenges in the diagnosis of the antiphospholipid syndromeKatrien Devreese
Coagulation Laboratory, Department of Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium
Clin Chem 56:930-40. 2010..In 2006 these criteria were revised, and recently more precise guidelines for analysis of the lupus anticoagulant have been provided. However, several questions related to the diagnosis of APS remain unanswered...
Evaluation of a new silica clotting time in the diagnosis of lupus anticoagulantsKatrien M J Devreese
Coagulation Laboratory, Department of Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, Ghent University Hospital De Pintelaan, 185 2P8 B 9000 Gent Belgium
Thromb Res 120:427-38. 2007....
