Description
Dilute Russell viper venom time (dRVVT) is used most commonly as one of the screening tests to diagnose lupus anticoagulants (LA), which are phospholipid autoantibodies associated with excess clot formation, excess bleeding, and repeated miscarriages. The coagulant in the venom directly activates factor X, which turns prothrombin into thrombin in the presence of factor V and phospholipid. If phospholipid antibodies are present, this reaction will be inhibited, which will prolong the dRVVT and suggests the presence of LA. PMID: 19624461 Source: Regenstrief LOINC, PMID: 19624461
