Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystemic inflammatory autoimmune disorder. Thrombotic events occur at a higher incidence among SLE patients. The investigation of thrombin generation (TG) with calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT) test as a global hemostasis assay is applicable for the overall functional assessment of the hemostasis. The aim of this study was to characterize the hemostatic alterations observed in SLE by CAT assay. In this study, CAT parameters and basic coagulation parameters of SLE patients (n = 22) and healthy control subjects (n = 34) were compared. CAT area under the curve (i.e., endogenous thrombin potential) was lower than normal in SLE (807 vs. 1,159 nM*min, respectively), whereas other CAT parameters (peak, lag time, time to peak, and velocity index) and the basic coagulation tests were within the normal range. The presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies and the applied therapy was not associated with hemostasis parameters in SLE. We concluded that the reported high risk of thrombosis is not related to TG potential.
A trombin a véralvadási kaszkád egyik kulcsenzime, amely mind pro-, mind antikoaguláns funkcióval rendelkezik. Központi szerepe folytán a trombin képződése a véralvadási folyamat egyik legfontosabb lépése, amely az úgynevezett trombingenerációs vizsgálattal jellemezhető. A trombingeneráció globális véralvadási teszt, amely átfogó képet ad a haemostasis állapotáról. Karakterisztikáját egyaránt befolyásolják a pro-és az antikoaguláns folyamatok, ezáltal alkalmas a fokozott trombóziskészség és a vérzékenység kimutatására is. Klinikai vizsgálatok igazolják a trombingeneráció fokozódását vénás és artériás trombózishajlam esetében. Segíthet az antikoaguláns terápia monitorozásában, faktorinhibitorokkal történő antikoaguláns kezelés esetében is. A trombingenerációs vizsgálatok eredményei hemofília esetén jól tükrözik a vérzés súlyosságát, és monitorozható a faktorkészítményekkel történő terápia. Információt adhat azokban az esetekben is, amikor a hemofíliás betegnél inhibitorok jelennek meg, és emiatt speciális kezelésre van szükség. A klinikai gyakorlatban történő alkalmazáshoz elengedhetetlen a módszer standardizálása és a klinikai dön-téshozatalhoz szükséges küszöbértékek meghatározása. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(22), 851-857. Kulcsszavak: véralvadási vizsgálatok, trombózis, vérzékenység, trombin Thrombin generation assays and their clinical applicationThrombin is a key enzyme of the coagulation system, having both pro-and anticoagulant functions. Thus, the generation of thrombin is one of the most important steps in coagulation. Global haemostasis assay, the so-called thrombin generation test is appropriate for its assessment. Since thrombin generation is sensible for both pro-and anticoagulant processes it can be applied for the general characterisation of the risk of thrombosis and bleeding, too. Clinical studies confi rmed augmented thrombin generation in patients with high risk of venous or arterial thrombosis. Anticoagulant therapy (also novel oral anticoagulant treatment) can be monitored by thrombin generation. In case of haemophilia thrombin generation assays refl ect bleeding severity. It is applicable for monitoring of both conventional haemophilia treatment and inhibitor-bypassing therapy, which is needed when inhibitors develop in patients. Standardization of thrombin generation methods and determination of cut off values are required before its application in clinical practice.
