Comparison of rapid clottable fibrinogen assays.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurements of fibrinogen concentration by use of two rapid methods (clot.weight method and th rombin-turbidity method) were compared with the reference thrombin.coagulation method of Ratnoff and Menzie [J. Lab. Clin. Med. 37, 316 (1951)]. Both rapid methods gave results (in the high, middle, and low ranges) that correlated well with those of the thrombin-coagulation method. However, the thrombin-turbidity method was more precise, easier, and quicker than the clotweight method.

Discrepancy between fibrinogen concentrations determined by clotting rate and clottability assays during the acute-phase reaction.
Assays based on clotting rate are commonly used as a routine method for determining the fibrinogen concentration in plasma. However, little is known about the influence of the acute-phase reaction on this assay. In order to disclose discrepancies between the fibrinogen concentrations obtained by a clotting rate assay (as described by Clauss) and a reference assay for total clottable protein (ac...
متن کاملThe significance of variations in immunoreactive and clottable fibrinogen in health and following thrombosis.
In individuals in a steady state of fibrinogen metabolism, immunoreactive and clottable fibrinogen estimates of plasma fibrinogen show close agreement. These estimates also detect any increase of plasma fibrinogen (due to increased synthesis) following metabolic stresses but in certain circumstances discrepancies between immunoreactive and clottable fibrinogen values occur which are of diagnost...
متن کاملComparison of three methods for plasma fibrinogen.
Three plasma fibrinogen methods are presented based on (1) clottable protein assay by Biuret reagent, (2) measurement of clot absorbance and (3) thrombin time. These methods show good correlation and adequate precision on normal subjects as well as heparinized plasmas. The effects of interference owing to hemolysis, lipemia, bilirubin, heparin and fibrinogen degradation products are discussed b...
متن کاملA batch method for estimating thrombin clottable fibrinogen.
A method for estimating thrombin clottable fibrinogen in a large number of plasma samples is described. This method is based on measuring the optical density difference of a diluted plasma and its corresponding serum after incubation at 59 degrees C in the presence of 10% NaCl. The method gave excellent correlation with previously described thrombin clottable estimates, but was easier to perfor...

The determination of plasma fibrinogen, either as clottable protein or protein precipitable with glycine or ammonium sulfate, is evaluated in terms of principles of analysis, analytic error, normal and abnormal ranges, physiologic stability, and pathologic variability of fibrinogen concentration. The quantitative comparison of analytic error, population ranges, and individual variability should...
