  2. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

    Hepatic (liver) involvement in some diseases can be of crucial importance. This testing is performed on a patient's blood sample. Some tests are associated with functionality (e.g., albumin), some with cellular integrity (e.g., transaminase), and some with conditions linked to the biliary tract (gamma-glutamyl transferase and alkaline ...

  3. Coagulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation

    Decreased platelet numbers (thrombocytopenia) is due to insufficient production (e.g., myelodysplastic syndrome or other bone marrow disorders), destruction by the immune system (immune thrombocytopenic purpura), or consumption (e.g., thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemolytic-uremic syndrome, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria ...

  4. Platelet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet

    For example, in patients undergoing surgery, a level below 50×10 9 /L is associated with abnormal surgical bleeding, and regional anaesthetic procedures such as epidurals are avoided for levels below 80×10 9 /L. [68] Platelets may also be transfused when the platelet count is normal but the platelets are dysfunctional, such as when an ...

  5. Thrombocythemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocythemia

    Laboratory tests might include: full blood count, liver enzymes, renal function and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. [citation needed] If the cause for the high platelet count remains unclear, bone marrow biopsy is often undertaken, to differentiate whether the high platelet count is reactive or essential. [citation needed]

  6. Fibrinogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrinogen

    Fibrinogen is made and secreted into the blood primarily by liver hepatocyte cells. Endothelium cells are also reported to make small amounts of fibrinogen, but this fibrinogen has not been fully characterized; blood platelets and their precursors, bone marrow megakaryocytes, while once thought to make fibrinogen, are now known to take up and store but not make the glycoprotein.

  8. Fibrinolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrinolysis

    Fibrinolysis is a process that prevents blood clots from growing and becoming problematic. [1] Primary fibrinolysis is a normal body process, while secondary fibrinolysis is the breakdown of clots due to a medicine, a medical disorder, or some other cause.

    Albumin, carries thyroid hormones and other hormones, particularly fat soluble ones, fatty acids to the liver, unconjugated bilirubin, many drugs and Ca 2+ Ceruloplasmin, carries copper; Transcortin, carries cortisol, aldosterone and progesterone; Haptoglobin, carries free hemoglobin released from erythrocytes
