Background: The CN-6000 (Sysmex Corp.) is a new haemostasis analyser with blood coagulation, amidolytic, immuno-turbidometric and light transmission aggregometry (LTA) capabilities. Transmitted light is monitored at multiple wavelengths (340, 405, 575, 660, 800 nm), from an LED light source.

Andexanet alfa is a recombinant factor Xa decoy protein, designed to reverse bleeding associated with oral anti-Xa agents. Andexanet alfa is also reported to neutralize the effects of heparin-related drugs. This study focused on the neutralization profiles of unfractionated heparin (UFH), enoxaparin, and, a chemically synthetic pentasaccharide, fondaparinux by andexanet alfa.

Recombinant coagulation factor Xa (FXa), inactivated Zh-zo, also known as andexanet alfa (AA), is a modified version of human FXa that has been developed to neutralize FXa inhibitors. We studied the reversal effect of AA for these inhibitors in various anticoagulant and thrombin generation (TG) assays. Individual aliquots of normal human plasma containing 1 µg/mL of apixaban, betrixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban, were supplemented with saline or AA at a concentration of 100 µg/mL.

The currently available oral anti-Xa agents are claimed to produce their anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects solely by the inhibition of factor Xa. This study profiled various anti-Xa drugs in routinely used laboratory assays to demonstrate that their effects are not solely related to the anti-Xa activities. Apixaban, betrixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban were obtained commercially.

Context: The results of studies among patients with antithrombin deficiency have suggested that the use of warfarin will increase the level of antithrombin.
Objective: To reevaluate the effect of warfarin on antithrombin levels using an automated amidolytic method in current use.
Design: Antithrombin levels were measured in patients who were receiving warfarin for atrial fibrillation and were compared with antithrombin levels in preoperative patients who had not received warfarin.
