Abstract
Tissue factor is the active ingredient in thromboplastin reagents used to perform prothrombin time (PT) clotting tests to monitor oral anticoagulant therapy and to screen for clotting factor deficiencies. Thromboplastins are complex mixtures prepared from extracts of brain or placenta, although newer thromboplastins contain recombinant tissue factor incorporated into phospholipid vesicles. Thromboplastins can vary widely in their sensitivity to reductions in the levels of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. A system to compensate for this, the International Sensitivity Index (ISI) and International Normalized Ratio (INR), has revolutionized the monitoring of oral anticoagulant therapy. The INR system is also sometimes used to monitor coagulopathies in patients with sepsis or liver failure, applications for which it was not originally designed and for which it has not been rigorously validated. To better understand thromboplastin performance, we systematically investigated which properties of recombinant thromboplastins influence their sensitivities to changes in the levels of specific clotting factors. We now report that relative sensitivities to changes in the plasma levels of factors V, VII, X (FV, FVII, FX) and prothrombin...Continue Reading
