  2. Mixing study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_study

    Fresh normal plasma has all the blood coagulation factors with normal levels. If the problem is a simple factor deficiency, mixing the patient plasma 1:1 with plasma that contains 100% of the normal factor level results in a level ≥50% in the mixture (say the patient has an activity of 0%; the average of 100% + 0% = 50%).

  3. Prothrombin time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prothrombin_time

    The prothrombin time ratio is the ratio of a subject's measured prothrombin time (in seconds) to the normal laboratory reference PT. The PT ratio varies depending on the specific reagents used, and has been replaced by the INR. [3] Elevated INR may be useful as a rapid and inexpensive diagnostic of infection in people with COVID-19. [4]

  4. Clotting time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotting_time

    Clotting time is a general term for the time required for a sample of blood to form a clot, or, in medical terms, coagulate.The term "clotting time" is often used when referring to tests such as the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT or PTT), activated clotting time (ACT), thrombin time (TT), or Reptilase time.

  5. Thrombophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombophilia

    Tests for thrombophilia include complete blood count (with examination of the blood film), prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, thrombodynamics test, thrombin time and reptilase time, lupus anticoagulant, anti-cardiolipin antibody, anti-β2 glycoprotein 1 antibody, activated protein C resistance, fibrinogen tests, factor V Leiden and ...

  6. Lupus anticoagulant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupus_anticoagulant

    In contrast, the prothrombin time (PT), another non-specific coagulation test, is normally unaffected by lupus anticoagulant. Nevertheless, falsely increased PT has been reported, likely by lupus anticoagulant interfering with the phospholipid component of the PT reagent, particularly when using recombinant tissue factor and purified phospholipids.

  7. Des-gamma carboxyprothrombin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Des-gamma_carboxyprothrombin

    Des-gamma carboxyprothrombin (DCP), also known as protein induced by vitamin K absence/antagonist-II (PIVKA-II), is an abnormal form of the coagulation protein, prothrombin. Normally, the prothrombin precursor undergoes post-translational carboxylation (addition of a carboxylic acid group) by gamma-glutamyl carboxylase in the liver prior to ...

  8. Thromboelastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboelastography

    Thromboelastography (TEG) is a method of testing the efficiency of blood coagulation.It is a test mainly used in surgery and anesthesiology, although increasingly used in resuscitations in emergency departments, intensive care units, and labor and delivery suites.
