Internal quality control is an integral process of laboratory testing. A clinical laboratory's coagulation quality control (QC) program is a critical component of its quality assessment program. The ...
Factor deficiency or inhibition. The possible causes of the isolated prolonged aPTT in this case include factor deficiencies and factor inhibitors. Prolongation of both the PT and aPTT suggests ...
Rapid coagulation assessment is crucial in acute hemorrhage, where timely correction prevents hypoperfusion and circulatory collapse. Point-of-care (POC) viscoelastic testing (VET) enables faster and ...
Coagulation testing methodologies are often challenging for new users to understand. Terminology may be confusing and the methodologies are sensitive to many variables. Consideration of biological, ...
To evaluate the effects of fructose diphosphate (FDP) on routine coagulation tests in vitro, we added FDP into the mixed normal plasma to obtain the final ...
Background: Unfractionated heparin (UFH) has been used clinically for 5 decades. Despite being a cornerstone of anticoagulation, UFH is limited by its unpredictable pharmacokinetic profile, which ...
