}}Kaolin clotting time (KCT) is a sensitive test to detect lupus anticoagulants.[2] There is evidence that suggests it is the most sensitive test for detecting lupus anticoagulants.[3] It can also detect factor VIII inhibitors but is sensitive to unfractionated heparin as well.[4]

History

KCT was first described by Dr. Margolis in 1958.[5]

Principle

KCT is similar to the activated partial thromboplastin time test, except it does not use exogenous phospholipid.[2] Thus, a confirmatory test that uses excess phospholipid is needed to validate the presence of lupus anticoagulants.[2]

Kaolin is the surface activator, and the test also requires small amounts of cell fragments and plasma lipids to provide the phospholipid surface required for coagulation.[2][4] Therefore, the sample quality is important for the validity of the test.[2]

Method

The test combines a test plasma with kaolin, and the time the clot (in seconds) is measured.[5]

Interpretation

If the KCT is less than 60 seconds, this suggests that the normal control plasma is contaminated with platelet fragments; therefore, the test is not valid.[4]

The KCT test/control ratio of greater than or equal to 1.2 indicates an inhibitor is present.[4] If the test/control ratio is between 1.1 and 1.2, the test is equivocal.[4]
