Coagulation
5 markers in this category
D-Dimer
D-Dimer is a fibrin degradation product released when blood clots are broken down.
Fibrinogen
Fibrinogen is a protein produced by the liver that plays a dual role as both a clotting factor and an acute-phase reactant.
INR
INR (International Normalized Ratio) standardises prothrombin time results across laboratories, making it the universal measurement for monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy (warfarin) and assessing the extrinsic clotting pathway.
PT (Prothrombin Time)
PT (Prothrombin Time) measures how long it takes blood to form a clot through the extrinsic and common coagulation pathways. It evaluates factors VII, X, V, II, and fibrinogen.
aPTT
aPTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) measures how long it takes blood to form a clot through the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways.
