products.

A

Thrombin Time (TT)

31
Q

measures the platelet and vessel interaction, as well as the number and the function of platelets.

33
Q

Less than 1% factor activity – Severe _____

36
Q

hepatic function can cause deficiencies of the clotting factors. This is especially true for Factor V and for the ______dependent Factors, II, VII, IX, and X.
