  • Patent number: 9977038
    Abstract: Provided is the development of a convenient LA detection method in which even a sample derived from a patient who receives anticoagulant therapy of warfarin, heparin or the like, is not affected by the anticoagulant therapy, discrimination from the deficiency of blood coagulation factors is enabled, and healthy person's plasma is not used. The method for detecting lupus anticoagulant includes the following steps (A), (B) and (C): (A) a step of adding a buffer solution composition containing blood coagulation factors to each of a blood sample and a diluted sample of the blood sample before measurement or at the time of measurement of the blood coagulation time; (B) a step of measuring the blood coagulation times for the various samples of step (A); and (C) a step of comparing the blood coagulation times for the various samples obtained in step (B).

  • Patent number: 9970046
    Abstract: Provided is a method of measuring blood coagulation time, the method being capable of LA detection easily and with high sensitivity as compared with the method recommended by the ISTH, without being affected by deficiency of blood coagulation factors even in a blood sample of a warfarin taker, a person who suffers from vitamin K deficiency, or a hepatic failure patient. Disclosed is a method of measuring the blood coagulation time to detect lupus anticoagulant, the method including adding a buffer solution composition containing blood coagulation factors to a blood sample before measurement or at the time of measurement of the blood coagulation time, and measuring the blood coagulation time.

  • Publication number: 20150185236
    Abstract: Provided is a reagent, which prolongs a blood coagulation time sufficiently and enhances an optical change, thereby enabling a correct and high-sensitive blood coagulability test. The present invention provides a blood coagulation time prolonging agent, including, as an active ingredient, a guanidine compound represented by the following formula (1) or an acid addition salt thereof (in the formula, R1 represents a hydrogen atom, an amino group, or an alkyl group which may have a substituent).
