Control of oral anticoagulant treatment by chromogenic prothrombin assay.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Doses of oral anticoagulants in 50 patients on long term treatment were easily and satisfactorily monitored over six months by an automated chromogenic assay of prothrombin (CPA). It is suggested that chromogenic assay of one or more of the vitamin K dependent coagulation factors would provide a readily standardised alternative to those conventional tests which depend on human brain derived reagents, now regarded as a biohazard.

Maintenance control of oral anticoagulant therapy by a chromogenic substrate assay for factor X.
An amidolytic assay employing the chromogenic substrate S 2337 (Kabi Diagnostica) was used to assay factor X in 35 healthy controls and in 100 outpatients receiving oral anticoagulant therapy. This method correlated well with a coagulation assay of factor X in the control group (r = 0.88). When compared with two routine tests for the control of anticoagulant theray (Thrombotest and prothrombin ...
متن کاملControl of anticoagulant therapy with a chromogenic substrate.
Prothrombin is determined with the aid of a recently developed assay, based on the amidolysis of a chromogenic substrate. The assay proved to be reliable when it was compared with more conventional coagulation assays in the control of oral anticoagulant therapy, both in the therapeutic range and in a case of overdosage. As is the case in coagulation tests, heparin therapy remains a disturbing c...
متن کاملDetermination of antithrombin-dependent factor Xa inhibitors by prothrombin-induced clotting time.
Prothrombinase-induced clotting time (PiCT) determines the anticoagulant effects of heparins, low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs), and direct thrombin inhibitors. At present, this is the only method that measures the effects of all of these inhibitors, in contrast to the prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), Heptest, ecarin clotting time, and the chromogenic assays. ...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of a fully automated chromogenic method for prothrombin time compared with a conventional coagulation method.
The clinical usefulness of a chromogenic method for prothrombin time (PT) determination has been assessed in a wide range of clinical conditions, and it is compared with the conventional clotting method for PT. The new method appears to be as sensitive as the clotting PT to deficiencies of clotting factors of the extrinsic and common pathway, except for fibrinogen. Patients with proven liver di...
متن کاملA novel anticoagulant activity assay of tissue factor pathway inhibitor I (TFPI).
Tissue factor (TF) pathway inhibitor I (TFPI) is the physiological inhibitor of TF-induced blood coagulation. Circulating blood contains full-length TFPI and TFPI truncated at the C-terminal end. Previous studies have shown that full-length TFPI exerts a stronger anticoagulant effect on diluted prothrombin time (DPT) than truncated TFPI, and it has been suggested that full-length TFPI is biolog...
