    Kaolin clotting time. Test of. Blood plasma [1] 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.

    Hypercoagulability in pregnancy is the propensity of pregnant women to develop thrombosis (blood clots). Pregnancy itself is a factor of hypercoagulability (pregnancy-induced hypercoagulability), as a physiologically adaptive mechanism to prevent post partum bleeding. [1] However, when combined with an additional underlying hypercoagulable ...
