  2. Activated clotting time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_clotting_time

    Activated clotting time (ACT), also known as activated coagulation time, is a test of coagulation. [1] [2]The ACT test can be used to monitor anticoagulation effects, such as from high-dose heparin before, during, and shortly after procedures that require intense anticoagulant administration, such as cardiac bypass, interventional cardiology, thrombolysis, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation ...

  3. Coagulation screen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation_screen

    TCT or fibrinogen assay for final common pathway (THROMBIN TIME) Two other tests are regularly performed at the same time: blood count, to detect other hematological abnormalities; liver function tests to exclude liver disease as a cause of coagulation factor deficiency; These tests may miss mild abnormalities but they will detect major disorders.

  4. Thrombin time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombin_time

    The thrombin time (TT), also known as the thrombin clotting time (TCT), is a blood test that measures the time it takes for a clot to form in the plasma of a blood sample containing anticoagulant, after an excess of thrombin has been added. [1] It is used to diagnose blood coagulation disorders and to assess the effectiveness of fibrinolytic ...

  5. Coagulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation

    If a coagulation factor is part of the contact activation or tissue factor pathway, a deficiency of that factor will affect only one of the tests: Thus hemophilia A, a deficiency of factor VIII, which is part of the contact activation pathway, results in an abnormally prolonged aPTT test but a normal PT test. Deficiencies of common pathway ...

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Coagulation activation marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation_activation_marker

    Coagulation activation markers are biomarkers of net activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Examples include prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2), thrombin–antithrombin complex (TAT), fibrinopeptide A (FpA), fibrin monomers (FMs), plasmin-α 2 -antiplasmin complex (PAP), activated protein C–protein C inhibitor (APC-PCI), and D ...

  9. Coagulation testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation_testing

    Blood clotting tests are the tests used for diagnostics of the hemostasis system. Coagulometer is the medical laboratory analyzer used for testing of the hemostasis system. Modern coagulometers realize different methods of activation and observation of development of blood clots in blood or in blood plasma. [citation needed]
