Coagulation
5 markers in this category
D-Dimer
D-Dimer is a fibrin degradation product released when blood clots are broken down.
Lupus Anticoagulant
Lupus Anticoagulant is an antiphospholipid antibody that paradoxically increases thrombosis risk despite prolonging clotting times in laboratory tests.
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.
Thrombin Time
Thrombin Time (TT) measures how long it takes fibrinogen to convert to fibrin — the final step of the clotting cascade.
aPTT
aPTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) measures how long it takes blood to form a clot through the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways.
