Abstract
Purpose of the review: Thrombotic risk assessment in antiphospholipid positive (aPL +) subjects is a major challenge, and the study of in vitro thrombin generation (thrombin generation assays (TGA)) could provide useful information. Activated protein C (APC) sensitivity is involved in thrombotic events in antiphospholipid syndrome patients. We summarized methods used to assess APC sensitivity with TGA and evaluated the prognostic role of APC resistance through literature search.
Recent findings: APC resistance induced by aPL is a complex pathway. Several cross-sectional studies assessed APC sensitivity to understand thrombotic event mechanisms in aPL + subjects. Only one prospective cohort had investigated the prognostic impact of APC resistance in aPL + subjects, with a positive and significant correlation between APC sensitivity and the risk of thrombosis during the follow up (hazard ratio, 6.07 [95% CI, 1.69-21.87]). APC resistance assessed with TGA could be associated with thrombotic events in aPL + subjects.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in the field of rheumatology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care and prevention of rheumatologic conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas such as the many forms of arthritis, osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also occasionally provided.
