Partial thromboplastin time test with kaolin: diagnosis of haemophilia and Christmas disease without natural reference plasmas.
Deficiencies of factor VIII (in haemophilia) and factor IX (in Christmas disease) prolong the partial thromboplastin time. If normal plasma is treated with alumina, the factor VIII remains but the factor IX is removed and can subsequently be recovered by elution of the alumina. If a long partial thromboplastin time is found on investigating a male patient whose history suggests a life-long blee...
متن کاملLaboratory Methodologic Approach in Prolonged Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time Test
The pathological activated partial thromboplastin time test is a data that we can find in all clinical laboratories routinely. The hemato-coagulative clinical case here reported aims to point out how the laboratory can provide a correct diagnosis by methodological rational setting and, consequently, carry out an appropriate therapy, or reassure the patient that the pathological data will not ca...
متن کاملPartial Thromboplastin Time Test with Kaolin. Normal Range and Modifications for the Diagnosis of Haemophilia and Christmas Disease.
The partial thromboplastin time test provides a convenient and sensitive screening procedure for deficiencies of thromboplastic factors, especially factors VIII and IX. The test is carried out after preincubating the plasma for 10 minutes with kaolin, and Inosithin is used as a platelet substitute. The ;normal range' of the test has been estimated in terms of the differences encountered between...
متن کاملThe partial thromboplastin (cephalin) time test.
Nine partial thromboplastin (cephalin) reagents have been compared in a parallel investigation of groups of patients on ;long-term' anticoagulants, a group with moderate haemophilia, and patients on heparin infusion. Results with the seven commercial reagents and a human cephalin extract have been correlated with those of a specially prepared and standardized reference preparation of human brai...
متن کاملEvaluation of Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time in Women with Adverse Outcome of Pregnancy
Adverse outcome of pregnancy is a potentially dangerous complication of conception and affects 15-20% of pregnancies. According to recent studies increased level of blood antiphospholipids antibodies, if accompanied by predisposing factors, can be an adverse event in human pregnancy. The aim of the present study was to compare the maternal serum levels of anticardiolipin and antiphosphatidyl se...
