Laboratory

aPTT.lupus sensitive.excess phospholipid post heparin neutralization in Platelet poor plasma by Coagulation assay

Definition

Confirmatory lupus sensitive aPTT, measured after heparin neutralization, which removes the effects of any heparin that may be present in the sample. Heparin neutralization methods include the addition of heparinase, an enzyme that breaks down heparin, and heparin adsorption, in which a substance is added that binds the heparin that is present.
