REDucing Unnecessary Coagulation Testing in the Emergency Department (REDUCED). [PDF]

BMJ Qual Improv Rep, 2017
The PT/INR (prothrombin time/international normalized ratio) and aPTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) were tests developed in the early 20th century for specific and unique indications. Despite this, they are often ordered together routinely. The

A case of falsely elevated D-dimer result

Türk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2022
Heterophile antibodies can cause interferences in immunometric assays. While many tests are shown to be affected by interference from heterophilic antibodies, the D-dimer test has rarely been reported to be affected. With this case, we report an elevated

Development and implementation of a coagulation factor testing method utilizing autoverification in a high-volume clinical reference laboratory environment

Journal of Pathology Informatics, 2017
Background: Testing coagulation factor activities requires that multiple dilutions be assayed and analyzed to produce a single result. The slope of the line created by plotting measured factor concentration against sample dilution is evaluated to discern
