Monitoring Test

Question 1

APTT-Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time

Answer 1

a kinetic screening test that measures the recalcification time of plasma after incubation with phospholipids and kaolin use a semi-automated method-intrinsic pathway

Question 2

What are the coagulation factors of the intrinsic pathway

Answer 2

12, 11, 9, 8, 10, 5, prothrombin and fibrogen

Question 3

What is prothrombin time

Answer 3

prothrombin time is used to evaluate the adequacy of the extrinsic system and the common path way in coagulation; it measures the clotting ability of factors 1 (fibrinogen), 2 (prothrombin), 5, 7, and X. When any of these factors in deficient PT is prolonged
