ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Clopidogrel is an inhibitor of the P2Y12 platelet receptor but testing to demonstrate a drug effect is controversial since there are often discordant results between different tests methods.METHODS:
Samples from patients taking clopidogrel prior to intracranial flow-diversion procedures were tested using light transmission aggregometry (LTA), whole blood impedance aggregometry (WBIA) and the VerifyNow device (VND). Samples were classified as concordant if all test results were either responsive (inhibition) or resistant. Discordant results were separated using the VND into those with a responsive versus a resistant test result.RESULTS:
Samples from 96 patients were studied. Concordance for all three tests was seen in 53/96 (55%) of samples, of which 41 (43%) were responsive and 12 (12%) were resistant. Discordance was observed in 43 samples (45%), 37 (28%) of which were caused by responsive VND and either a resistant WBIA or LTA and 6 (7%) of which were caused by a resistant VND but a responsive test result using either WBIA or LTA. These two discordant groups differed in both platelet count and hematocrit, but no such difference was present between the two concordant groups.CONCLUSION:
Discordance in P2Y12 inhibition testing may be partly explained by sample platelet count and hematocrit.Palavras-chave
