TriniCLOT PT Excel 6 ml

TriniCLOT PT Excel is a tissue Thromboplastin Reagent (rabbit brain). TriniCLOT PT Excel is used in a modified one-stage Prothrombin Time test.

A prothrombin time test (PT) is sensitive to deficiencies in the extrinsic coagulation system (Factor II, V, VII,and X). The PT is used as a presurgical screen to detect potential bleeding problems. An extended PT is usually indicative of a decreased level of one or more of the factors in the extrinsic or common coagulation system which may be caused by hereditary coagulation disorders, a Vitamin K deficiency, liver disease, or drug administration. The PT is the most common laboratory assay used to monitor oral anticoagulant therapy as it is sensitive to Factors VII and X. It is not sensitive to deficiencies either in the intrinsic system (Factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII) or to platelet dysfunctions. It cannot be used to monitor heparin therapy. An Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) determination is recommended for monitoring heparin therapy. A Bleeding Time test is recommended for identifying platelet dysfunctions.
