Influence of dabigatran on aPTT and PT
- aPTT and the PT are influenced by dabigatran depending on
the reagents used
-aPTT and PT showed a concentration dependent prolongation
-PT reagents were less sensitive than aPTT

Conclusion
Treatment of acute thrombosis is not influenced by test
result: postpone testing
Test for PT to exclude AVK, which will reduce Protein C and
protein S
Chromogenic assays for protein C are are no subject for
interference of DOAC
Immunoreactive assays for protein S are no subject for
interference of DOAC
Deficiencies should not be diagnosed on one result
Clotting assays (aPC-r, factor dosage, LAC) are influenced
by all anticoagulants
Collaboration in thrombophilia testing: under
supervision of experienced lab staff and interpreted by
experienced clinician
