The use of the dilute Russell viper venom time for the diagnosis of lupus
anticoagulants
P Thiagarajan, V Pengo and SS Shapiro
We describe here a test for lupus anticoagulants based on a modified
Russell viper venom time (RVVT), using limiting amounts of phospholipid and
venom. We have studied 29 patients with a prolonged dilute RVVT. Five of
the 29 had a normal activated partial thromboplastin time and three of 14
tested by the tissue thromboplastin inhibition test were normal. In 17 of
19 patients tested, the dilute RVVT was completely normal when
ionophore-treated platelets were substituted for phospholipid; the
remaining two patients, both with very long phospholipid-dependent dilute
RVVT's, were nearly completely normalized. The dilute RVVT is not prolonged
in the presence of antibodies to factors VIII, IX, or XI. Thus, the dilute
RVVT appears to be a simple, reproducible, sensitive, and relatively
specific method for the detection of lupus anticoagulants.
