Coagulation tests measure your blood's capacity to clump, and how long it requires to clot. At the point when you have unexplained or delayed dying, strange outcomes on coagulation screening tests, for example, prothrombin time (PT) or fractional thromboplastin time (PTT), or have a relative with an innate coagulation factor lack; you might be tried when your medical care professional needs to screen the seriousness of a factor insufficiency or potentially the adequacy of therapy.
Every area of the laboratory has specific issues with pre-analytical errors causing unreadable or false results on samples, from mislabeling to samples being forgotten on the floors to drawi...
Inflammation is associated with cognitive decline and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, although exact pathways remain elusive. To further explore the role of inflammation, we uti...
