  2. 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.

  3. Prothrombin time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prothrombin_time

    The reference range for prothrombin time depends on the analytical method used, but is usually around 12–13 seconds (results should always be interpreted using the reference range from the laboratory that performed the test), and the INR in absence of anticoagulation therapy is 0.8–1.2.

  4. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

    Liver function tests (LFTs or LFs), also referred to as a hepatic panel, are groups of blood tests that provide information about the state of a patient's liver. [1] These tests include prothrombin time (PT/INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), albumin , bilirubin (direct and indirect), and others.

  5. Clotting time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotting_time

    The normal range of clotting times is 2-8 minutes. For the measurement of clotting time by the test tube method, blood is placed in a glass test tube and kept at 37°C. The required time for the blood to clot is measured. [5] There are several other methods, including testing for those on blood thinners, such as heparin or warfarin.

  6. 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]

  7. Thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocytopenia

    It is the most common coagulation disorder among intensive care patients and is seen in a fifth of medical patients and a third of surgical patients. [3] A normal human platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets/microliter (μL) of blood. [4] Values outside this range do not necessarily indicate disease.

    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 ...
