Functional Anti-Phospholipid Antibodies are Elevated in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyp Tissue

Rationale Nasal polyps (NP) in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with NP (CRSwNP) contain increased fibrin deposition and auto-antibodies, similar to what is found in the antiphospholipid syndrome, where antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) cause prolongation of the activated partial thrombin time (aPTT) in vitro...

Zusammenfassung:Rationale Nasal polyps (NP) in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with NP (CRSwNP) contain increased fibrin deposition and auto-antibodies, similar to what is found in the antiphospholipid syndrome, where antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) cause prolongation of the activated partial thrombin time (aPTT) in vitro but hypercoagulability in vivo. Results Anti-cardiolipin IgG was significantly increased (p=0.0002) in NP (449.3 GPLU/mg protein) compared to ET from control (89.9 GPLU/mg protein), CRSsNP (187.9 GPLU/mg protein), and CRSwNP (207.4 GPLU/mg protein), and was strongly correlated with anti-dsDNA IgG levels (r=0.75, p
