Q

principle of the lee white method

A

the whole blood clotting time is the time required for freshly collected blood to form a firm clot in standardized glass tubes at 37*C. Thus, the whole blood clotting time is a measure of the integrity of the intrinsic system

Q

the principle of Activated Coagulation Time of Whole Blood

A

the activated coagulation time of whole blood is the time necessary for fresh blood to form a clot when incubated as 37*C in the presence of surface contact activation. This assay, like to whole blood clotting, measures overall activity of the intrinsic clotting system

27
Q

Another modification of APTT which is done by mixing
the patient’s plasma with commercially available
correcting reagents, Factor VIII and IX reagents.

A

differential partial thromboplastin time

28
Q

in a prolonged PTT, and is corrected with factor VIII, the condition is

A

hemophilia A

29
Q

in a prolonged PTT, and is corrected with factor IX , the condition is

A

30
Q

measures the EXTRINSIC and COMMON pathway of
coagulation.

A

prothrombin time

31
Q

It is used to monitor oral anticoagulant
therapy

A

protrombin time

32
Q

. This can detect prothrombin, fibrinogen, Factors V,
VII and X deficiencies.

A

prothrombin time

33
Q

the method under prothrombin times

A

one stage method of Quick (stanley brown method)

34
Q

principle behind the prothrombin time - one stage method of quick

A

tissue thrimboplastin and calcium added to plasma react to fibrinogen to form a clot. The thromboplastin added to the plasma takes the place of the tissue juice formation of extrinsic
thromboplasitn. The prothrombin time is therefore prolonged if
there is a deficiency of Factors V, VII or X or a very severe
deficiency of Factor I and II

35
Q
  • It offers a combined estimation of the levels of
    prothrombin and proconvertin

A

a. It is more sensitive with Stanley Brown Method.
b.Fresh specimens are not necessary, and the method
can be used for mailed samples of blood.
c. The method is not affected by heparin

41
Q
  • it is used to distinguish deficiencies of Factor X and
    those of Factor VII. It is also used to detect deficiencies in
    prothrombin, fibrinogen and factors V and X. It differs from
    prothrombin time in that deficiencies in factor VII are not
    detected
