Coagulation:- part 3 – Coagulation Screening, Normal, and Critical values

Coagulation:- part 3 – Coagulation Screening, Normal, and Critical values
October 23, 2021HematologyLab Tests

For the screening of coagulation abnormality, the following tests are advised.

  1. Platelets count  (140,000 to 340,000 /cmm).
  2. Bleeding time  (Ivy method <4 min and Duke method 1 to 4 min).
  3. Clot retraction qualitative begins in 30 to 60 minutes; it is complete within 24 hours but usually within 6 hours.
  4. Coagulation time or clotting time (5 to 15 minutes in glass tubes and 19 to 60 minutes in the siliconized tube).
  5. Fibrinolysins are negative.
  6. Prothrombin time, one stage  (same as control and should be 11 to 16 seconds).
  7. Thromboplastin generation time (compared to normal control).
  8. To measure  the intrinsic system, advise:
    1. Activated partial thromboplastin APTT.
  9. To measure the extrinsic system, advise:
    1. One stage prothrombin time PT.

The tests advised for coagulation workup with their normal and panic values:

Test           Normal values    Normal values source (4)  Critical values   (source 3)
Platelets count 150.000 to 450,000 /cmm <100,000   (20,000 /cmm)
Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)           25 to 35 seconds >40 seconds.
Prothrombin time  (PT)            10 to 13 seconds >15 seconds
Thrombin time  (TT)            17 to 25 seconds
Bleeding time (BT)            2 to 8 minutes
Clotting time (CT) 2 to 6 minutes (glass tube 10 to 15 minutes)
Fibrinogen            2.0 to 4.0 g/L <100 mg/dL
Fibrinogen degradation products (FDP)           < 10 mg/L
  1. Negative at 1:4 dilution
  2. <10 mg/dL
Plasma D-dimer            < 200 mg/L <250 µg/L
Coagulation factors              500 to 1500 U/L
Factor V% <35%
Factor VII <10%
Factor VIII <100%  and >160%
Factor IX <30%
Protein C              70 to 1400 U/L
Protein S total             70 to 1400 U/L

Critical values source 2:

  •  Platelets = <50,000/cmm  or > 1 million/cmm.
  • APTT        = >70 seconds.
  • PTT          = >100 seconds.
  • Fibrinogen = <100 mg/dL.
