Tests
A quantitative measurement of the amount of fibrinogen present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of functional fibrinogen present in a sample.
Indicators
A fibrillar protein present in blood plasma; it converts to fibrin during the process of blood clot formation.
Indicators
A measurement of the clotting time of plasma recalcified in the presence of excess tissue thromboplastin; it is a measure of the extrinsic pathway of coagulation. It is used to determine the clotting tendency of blood, in the measure of warfarin dosage, liver damage and vitamin K status. Factors measured are fibrinogen, prothrombin, and factors V, VII, and X.
Tests
A two-staged test with purified coagulation factors in the first stage, and a FXa-specific chromogenic substrate in the second stage. In the first stage, diluted sample plasma, which has been treated with Al(OH)3 to remove prothrombin, is mixed with a combined reagent (human serum, factor V, phospholipids and calcium). In the second stage, a subsample from the first stage is mixed with normal plasma, providing prothrombin and fibrinogen, and the clotting time is measured to deduce the amount of FVIII present.
