Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the laboratory tests and clinical characteristics of patients with lupus anticoagulant-positive cerebral infarction.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 216 patients with cerebral infarction hospitalized in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2016 to October 2021 was performed, and the patients were divided into LA-positive cerebral infarction group (168 cases) and LA-negative cerebral infarction group (48 cases) according to the detection of lupus anticoagulant (LA) in cerebral infarction patients, and the laboratory test data between the two groups were compared, and the risk factors related to cerebral infarction, including body mass index (BMI), smoking history, drinking history, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes history, were included for comparative analysis. LA was performed using the silica clotting time (SCT) method and the modified diluted russell viper venom time (dRVVT) method, respectively. The dRVVT method was used to detect LA. The LA-positive cerebral infarction group was divided into three subgroups according to the positive detection, namely, the dRVVT single-positive group (110 cases), the SCT single-positive group (40 cases) and the double-positive group (18 cases), and the comparison of laboratory indices between different subgroups was performed.The measurement data of normal distribution between the two groups were compared by independent sample t-test, and the mean between multiple groups was compared by ANOVA; The rank sum test was used to compare the median between the measurement data groups that did not conform to the normal distribution, and the χ 2 test was used to compare the counting data groups. Results:The levels of antithrombin Ⅲ and protein C of the LA-positive group ((102.85±14.39)% and (108.52±22.62)%) were all lower than those of the LA-negative group ((110.16±11.10)% and (116.34±18.14)%), the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 3.25, 2.20, P values were 0.001, 0.029, respectively). The levels of fibrinogen, homocysteine, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, white blood cells and neutrophil were (3.43(3.07,4.03) g/L), (17.92(14.07,23.71) μmol/L), (6.97(2.33,11.46) mg/L), (15.00(6.75,29.00) mm/h), (8.61(6.72,10.86)×10 9/L) and (5.81(4.39,7.91)×10 9/L), all were higher than those in the LA-negative group with values of (3.14(2.68, 3.62) g/L), (14.62(12.49, 18.41) μmol/L), (3.18(2.09,4.32) mg/L), (9.50(3.75,19.00) mm/h), (7.20(6.22,8.33)×10 9/L) and (4.47(4.02,5.57)×10 9/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z values were 2.77, 2.89, 3.32, 2.45, 3.15 and 3.76, P values were 0.006、0.004、0.001, 0.014, 0.002 and <0.001, respectively). There were no significant differences in age, gender, BMI, personal history, past medical history and other laboratory indicators between the two groups (all P>0.05). Comparison among different subgroups in LA positive group showed that D dimer and hs-CRP levels in double-positive group were 0.58(0.50,0.84) mg/L and 7.77(5.94,21.61) mg/L, higher than those in SCT single-positive group with values of 0.45(0.32,0.56) mg/L and 2.98(1.09,6.07) mg/L, and protein S level of double-positive group (97.36±25.45)% was lower than that in SCT single-positive group (114.85±22.74)%, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). D dimer, prothrombin time, hs-CRP and neutrophil levels in dRVVT single-positive group were (0.58(0.50,0.84) mg/L), (11.40(11.10,12.10) s), (6.97(4.07,11.97) mg/L) and (5.83(4.51,8.27)×10 9/L), which were higher than those in SCT single-positive group with values of (0.45(0.32,0.56) mg/L), (11.15(10.70,11.43) s), (2.98(1.09,6.07) mg/L) and (5.08(3.92,6.07)×10 9/L), the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Protein C and triglyceride levels were ((105.65±20.62)%) and (1.38(1.05, 1.75) mmol/L) in dRVVT single-positive group, which were lower than those in SCT single-positive group with values of ((117.05±20.86)% and 1.60(1.29,2.36) mmol/L), the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:There were significant differences between LA positive and LA negative cerebral infarction patients in laboratory examination. In LA positive cerebral infarction patients, the levels of fibrinogen, homocysteine, hs-CRP, white blood cells, neutrophil and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were higher, while the levels of anticoagulant protein antithrombin Ⅲ and protein C were lower. It is of great significance to pay close attention to the level and change of laboratory related risk factors in patients with LA positive cerebral infarction and give early intervention and treatment for the prevention of the occurrence and recurrence of cerebral infarction.
