Prospective multicenter comparison of the diagnostic value of IgG and IgGAM antibodies for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia
Background and aims
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a critical complication of heparin therapy. Immune antibodies are involved in the development of HIT. The purpose of this study was to explore the diagnostic value of IgGAM and IgG antibodies.
Materials and methods
This prospective multicenter cohort study enrolled 170 patients with suspected HIT and 120 healthy volunteers. HIT was suspected when the complete blood count indicated a reduced platelet count. The presence of HIT was determined according to the clinical condition and laboratory results of patients. Parameters examined included conventional coagulation tests and IgG and IgGAM antibodies.
Results
Among 170 patients with suspected HIT, 69 were PF4/H-antibody-positive (Ab+ patients), and 12 were diagnosed with HIT. Ab+ patients had higher levels of 4T score, D-dimer, and platelet reduction ratio than Ab- patients (P < 0.001 for all). We defined a HIT antibody risk index (HARI) as 0.807 × 4T score+ 0.028 × platelet reduction ratio (%)+ 0.114 × D-dimer (mg/l FEU), and found that the area under the curve (AUC) for HARI was greatest (0.857). Furthermore, the levels of IgGAM and IgG antibodies were higher in patients with HIT than without (P = 0.003 and P < 0.001, respectively). The AUC for IgG antibody was significantly greater than that for IgGAM antibody (0.870 vs. 0.775).
Conclusions
HARI can serve as a potential predictor for the risk of PF4/H-antibody positivity in patients with suspected HIT pre-test. For high-risk patients, IgG antibody testing may be used as a potential exclusion diagnostic indicator for patients with suspected HIT.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
