Background: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) interfere with coagulation assays potentially leading to inaccurate results. This study determined the effectiveness of DOAC-stop® and DOAC-remove® in overcoming DOAC interference. It aimed to investigate the extent to which apixaban, rivaroxaban, and dabigatran had an effect on thrombophilia and lupus tests using normal plasma, as well as whether DOACs interfere with true-positive results by testing abnormal controls.

Background: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) cause unwanted interference in various hemostasis assays, including lupus anticoagulant (LA) testing, where false positive and false negative identification may occur. DOAC Stop (DS) is an activated charcoal (AC) product used to specifically and effectively adsorb DOACs from test plasma. This process normally requires plasma treatment, centrifugation and plasma separation prior to tests, but inexperienced operators may also inadvertently transfer residual AC particles, thereby potentially adversely affecting clot detection.

The assessment of hemostasis is necessary to make suitable decisions on the management of patients with thrombotic disorders. In some clinical situations, for example, during thrombophilia screening, the presence of anticoagulants in sample makes diagnosis impossible. Various elimination methods may overcome anticoagulant interference.

Unlabelled: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) interfere with many coagulation assays, mostly in lupus anticoagulant (LA) detection, causing false positive and negative results. Despite guidelines recommendations, LA testing may be important during anticoagulation when the clinician has to decide whether to prolong or discontinue the drug.
Objectives: In this study, the effect of activated charcoal (DOAC-Stop, DS) as a DOAC-adsorbent was investigated on samples from DOACs treated and untreated patients.
