Abstract

The paper describes a reagent kit and standardized methods for lupus anticoagulant (LA) laboratory diagnosis. LA could be determined on the basis of screen/confirm assays and the reagents produced by RENAM, Moscow. The external quality control by ECAT Foundation proved the correctness of the authors' LA determining procedure. A pilot clinical study has shown that the developed approach has a high LA specificity for differential approach in thrombophilic patients.
