Improved coagulation screening by an activated recalcification test.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conventional plasma recalcification test is improved by incubation of test plasma with Celite suspended in distilled water. This effectively activates factor XII and releases platelet factor 3, thereby markedly shortening the clotting time. The modified plasma recalcification test has several advantages that contribute to its usefulness as a general screening test for coagulation abnormalities. It is more precise and reproducible than any comparable test that assays a similar spectrum of coagulation factors.

The free amino acid changes in plasma following coagulation and plasminogen activation.
By SAui I. COHEN A RECENT REPORT1 from this laboratory describes increases in certain of the tinbound amino acids and the appearance of a peptide after recalcification and subsequent coagulation of human blood plasma. It has been suggested2 that activation of plasminogen ( profibrinolysin ), the inactive enzyme precursor of the blood protease plasmin ( fibrinolysin ) , is accelerated during the...

Coagulation A bnormalities in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage • Coagulation and fibrinolytic studies were performed in 30 subarachnoid hemorrhage patients and 30 age-matched and sex-matched controls. Systemic abnormalities were detected in the following tests: recalcification time, fibrinogen, partial thromboplastin time, K value of thromboelastogram and euglobulin lysis time. The data suggest that sub...
متن کاملUse of the activated partial thromboplastin time in the control of heparin administration.
H EPARIN, which acts as a direct anticoagulant, in contrast to indirect anticoagulants such as the coumarins or indandiones, has been thought by some investigators to fulfill more nearly the role of tile ideal anticoagulant (1-3). This naturally occurring mucopolysaccharide rapidly decreases the activity of the coagulation system by acting both as an antithromboplastin and as an antithrombin. I...

The venom of the rhinoceros horned viper (Bitis nasicornis) has been studied in vitro and has been shown to be anticoagulant. This action appeared to be due to an effect on both the extrinsic and intrinsic blood thromboplastin mechanisms. The venom was also proteolytic and in purified caseinolytic systems activated plasminogen, enhanced the activation of plasminogen by streptokinase, and potent...
متن کاملHemophilia. I. the Abnormal Coagulation of the Blood and Its Relation to the Blood Platelets.
The one abnormality constantly found in hemophilia is an inability of the blood to coagulate in a normal manner. This defect is demonstrable usually by a prolonged clotting time, which in turn determines the various manifestations of the disease. Further understanding of this disease depends, therefore, upon knowledge of the cause of the prolonged clotting time. Most investigations of the blood...
