LAB EVALUATION CONTINUATION Flashcards
Venom ——- is a thromboplastin-like substance
“Vipera ruselli”
Addition of the venom bypasses the activation of — and directly activates FX.
VII
STYPVEN/RUSELL’s VIPER VENOM NORMAL VALUES
NV: 6-10 seconds
What is the function of Dilute Russel Viper Venome time (dRVVT)?
DETECTS LUPUS ANTICOAGULANT
Otherwise known as “Fibrinogen Deficiency Test”
THROMBIN TIME
THROMBIN TIME PRINCIPLE
Principle: Addition of thrombin bypasses all coagulation pathways except:
polymerization of Fibrinogen
-measures the conversion of —— to fibrin
fibrinogen
THROMBIN TIME NORMAL VALUE
NV: 17-25 seconds
Fibrinogen level IN tHROMBIN TIME
75-100 mg/dL
Presence of Heparin and FDP
THROMBIN TIME
IN THROMBIN TIME Normally prolonged in
newborn and multiple myeloma
source of reptilase enzyme (thrombin like substance)
Bothrops atrox
Principle: Reptilase bypasses all coagulation pathways except the
polymerization of fibrinogen and the monomers.
mode of action IN REPTILASE TIME
joins the monomers end to end
NORMAL VALUE IN REPTILASE TIME
NV: 18-20 seconds
