Factor X Assay
Factor X, Stuart-Prower factor, is a critical protein in the blood coagulation cascade, causing the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. It facilitates the progression of the coagulation cascade, leading to the formation of stable blood clots. The test aids healthcare providers in diagnosing and monitoring inherited or acquired Factor X deficiency, differentiating haemophilia or vitamin […]
Factor VIII Activity, Chromogenic
Factor VIII is a crucial protein in the coagulation cascade, which triggers a series of cascade steps on activation of the intrinsic pathway leading to activation of Factor VIII and Factor X. Factor VIII Activity is assessed with chromogenic substrates measuring Factor VIII ability to activate coagulation Factor X. This assay helps to diagnose, haemophilia […]
Factor VII Assay
Factor VII is an essential clotting factor, which is activated by binding to tissue factor to initiate the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade triggering activation of Factor X. The Factor VII assay measures the concentration and activity of Factor VII, indicated to evaluate abnormal blood clotting due to factor VII deficiencies.
Factor V Assay
The Factor V Assay measures the concentration and activity of Factor V, an essential cascade protein involved in coagulation. The test is indicated to evaluate abnormal blood clotting due to Factor V deficiencies or mutations. The test helps healthcare providers identify genetic mutations associated with factor V deficiency and thrombosis risk assessment.
Factor IX Assay
Factor IX Assay measures the concentration and activity of Factor IX, an essential cascade protein involved in coagulation. The test is indicated to diagnose and assess abnormal blood clotting and clotting disorder with deficiency or dysfunction of Factor IX. The test aids healthcare providers in confirming the presence of haemophilia B deficiency and planning for […]
Factor II Assay
The Factor II Assay measures the concentration and activity of prothrombin or Factor II key cascade protein involved in coagulation. The test is indicated to evaluate recurrent venous thromboembolism and diagnose abnormal clotting due to Factor II deficiencies or mutations. Tests help healthcare providers identify genetic mutations with Factor II deficiency, thrombosis risk assessment, and […]
D-Dimer
D-dimer is a protein fragment made when a blood clot dissolves in a person’s body. A D-dimer test is used by healthcare providers to find out if an individual is suffering from a blood clotting disorder such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Dabigatran, Ecarin
Dabigatran or Ecarin clotting time is a laboratory test to assess the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran. Ecarin, an enzyme, acts as a direct thrombin inhibitor. It is tested as the time taken for clot formation while converting prothrombin to meizothrombin. Healthcare professionals indicate the test for monitoring patients with thromboembolism. Tests assist in adjusting dosage […]
Coagulation Screen
The coagulation screen is a comprehensive group of tests measuring clotting factors such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). It helps to diagnose bleeding disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, evaluate risk for thrombosis or haemorrhage and guide appropriate treatment decisions.
Apixaban, Anti Xa
Apixaban Anti Xa assay measures the blood concentration of oral anticoagulant apixaban and quantifies factor Xa inhibition of coagulation cascade with its anti-Xa effect. Patients treated for thromboembolism with apixaban should monitor its level with this assay. Tests assist healthcare professionals in adjusting proper apixaban dosage, tracking patients’ compliance with therapy, and minimising the risk […]
