Kaolin clotting time
text:
Kaolin clotting time (KCT) is a sensitive test to detect lupus anticoagulants. There is evidence that suggests it is the most sensitive test for detecting lupus anticoagulants. It can also detect factor VIII inhibitors but is sensitive to unfractionated heparin as well. The KCT on whole blood is known as the "Activated Clotting Time" (ACT) and is widely used in various instruments during surgery such as cardiac bypass to monitor heparin.
