  2. 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 The PT ratio varies depending on the specific reagents used, and has been replaced by the INR.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]

  3. 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.

  4. Mixing study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_study

    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] The PT or PTT will be normal (the mixing study shows correction).

  5. Partial thromboplastin time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_thromboplastin_time

    The partial thromboplastin time (PTT), also known as the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT or APTT), is a blood test that characterizes coagulation of the blood.A historical name for this measure is the Kaolin-cephalin clotting time (KCCT), [1] reflecting kaolin and cephalin as materials historically used in the test.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombin_time

    Normal values for thrombin time may be 12 to 14 seconds, [6] but the test has significant reagent variability. If batroxobin is used, the time should be between 15 and 20 seconds. Thrombin time can be prolonged by heparin, fibrin degradation products, and fibrinogen deficiency or abnormality.

    Typical are normal thrombin time, prolonged prothrombin time (PT) and prolonged partial thromboplastin time(PTT). [1] FX antigen and its coagulant activity can be used to classify the severity of the condition: [4] Type I has low levels of FX antigen and activity. Type II has low coagulant activity but normal or borderline FX antigen levels.
