LUPUS ANTICOAGULANT BY dRVVT Test: Cost, Symptoms, Diagnosis
Lupus Anticoagulant (LA) is a type of autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks proteins that are essential for blood clotting. This leads to an increased risk of blood clots, which can cause serious health problems. The dRVVT (dilute Russell viper venom time) test is used to diagnose LA and is available at DNA Labs India at a cost of INR 1989.
Symptoms of Lupus Anticoagulant
LA may not have any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. However, as the condition progresses, the following symptoms may be observed:
- Unexplained swelling and pain in the legs, arms, or lungs
- Shortness of breath
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Fatigue and weakness
- Difficulty thinking or concentrating
- Skin rashes or sores
Diagnosis of Lupus Anticoagulant
The dRVVT test is used to diagnose LA. This test measures the time it takes for blood to clot in the presence of Russell viper venom. The test is performed by taking a blood sample from the patient and mixing it with Russell viper venom. The time it takes for the blood to clot is measured and compared to a normal range. If the blood takes longer to clot than normal, it indicates the presence of LA.
Other tests that may be used to diagnose LA include:
- Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)
- Prothrombin time (PT)
- Thrombin time (TT)
- Anticardiolipin antibody test
- Beta-2 glycoprotein 1 antibody test
