Abstract

The dual positivity (DP) and triple positivity (TP) concepts bypass the poor comparability of immune/clotting assay for the laboratory classification of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). To evaluate intensity of immune/clotting assays and DP/TP through different clinical severity groups (CSG) as follows: (1) non-thrombotic asymptomatic carriers of aPL (N-THR), thrombotic primary APS (THR), deceased (D) for recurrent and fatal thrombosis. Activated partial thromboplastin time ratio (aPTTr), dilute Russell viper venom time ratio (DRVVTr), IgG/IgM anticardiolipin (aCL) and anti β-2-glycoprotein-I (aβ2GPI). Participants: 33 N-THR, 64 THR and 11 D. The frequency of DP and TP (DRVVTr or aPTTr partnered with respective IgG aCL or aβ2GPI) increased across CSG (p = 0.006 and p = 0.003); mean DRVVTr and IgG aCL/aβ2GPI were always greater in TP versus non-TP within each CSG and progressively increased across the CSG. The intensity of individual lupus anticoagulants partnered with their corresponding IgG aPL related to the frequency of multiple positivity throughout CSG suggesting that of intensity of immune/clotting assays and multiple positivity are the different faces of the same diagnostic coin in our thrombotic PAPS cohort.
