Useful For
Technical interpretation of inhibitor to factor II testing
This test is not useful for the detection of a lupus-like circulating anticoagulant inhibitor, a nonspecific circulating anticoagulant, or other inhibitors that are not specific for coagulation factors.

Clinical Information
Coagulation factor inhibitors arise in patients who are congenitally deficient in a specific factor in response to factor replacement therapy or can either occur spontaneously without known cause or in response to a variety of medical conditions, including the postpartum state, immunologic disorders, certain antibiotic therapies, some malignancies, and in the older population.
Inhibitors of factor VIII coagulant activity are the most commonly occurring of the specific factor inhibitors.
Reference Values
Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see 2INHE / Factor II Inhibitor Evaluation, Plasma.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
When testing is complete, if factor activity results fall within clinically normal ranges, an interpretive comment will be provided noting that inhibitor testing was not indicated and, therefore, not performed. If factor activity indicates the performance of inhibitor screen testing, an interpretive comment will be provided noting the presence or absence of a factor II inhibitor.
Cautions
Occasionally, a potent lupus-like anticoagulant may cause false-positive testing for a specific factor inhibitor (eg, factor VIII or IX).
Method Description
If the factor II activity level is normal or elevated, a computer-generated interpretive comment will be provided indicating inhibitor testing was not indicated and was not performed.
