Comprehensive Hemostatic Assessment Protocol

Primary haemostasis was assessed by measurement of platelet count, levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and its metalloproteinase inhibitor, ADAMTS 13, as previously described [21] . Coagulation was assessed by measurement of traditional markers of coagulation, prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and specific markers including antithrombin, fibrinogen, and factor VIII levels using a an automated coagulation analyzer (ACL 300 TOP) with reagents and protocols from the manufacturer (Werfen, Breda, The Netherlands) as described previously [22] . Thrombin generation testing was performed in absence and presence of thrombomodulin using protocols and reagents from Thrombinoscope (Maastricht, The Netherlands) as described previously [23] . Thrombin generation curves (thrombin generation vs time) allowed calculation of endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) (nM * min) as area under the curve, thrombin lag-time (min) as time to commencement of thrombin generation, thrombin velocity index (nM/min) as the rate of thrombin generation, and thrombin peak (nM) as peak value of thrombin generation. Fibrinolysis was assessed by a plasmabased clot lysis time as described previously [23] and measurement of plasminogen activation-inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1).

Coagulation Assays for Heparin Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
aPTT was determined using HemosIL aPTT-SP (silicate activator; Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, Massachusetts, USA). Fifty microlitres of patient plasma were mixed with 50 µl of aPTT-SP. TT is a coagulation test measuring the time to fibrin formation after adding thrombin.23 Because of a high sensitivity for heparin, two thrombin concentrations are necessary to cover the full spectrum of heparin concentration. We used 3 U/mL (TT 1) and 7.5 U/mL (TT 2) of bovine thrombin (HemosIL TT; Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, Massachusetts, USA). TT 2 was determined in case of an unclottable TT 1 corresponding to a high concentration of heparin. Anti-Xa activity was determined using HemosIL liquid anti-Xa (Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, Massachusetts, USA), calibrated with HemosIL heparin calibrators. PiCT was measured using Pefakit PiCT (DSM Pentapharm, Basel, Switzerland). The test has been described in detail elsewhere.19 24 (link) Briefly, 50 µL of patient plasma was incubated for 180 s with an activator containing activated factor Xa, phospholipids and Russell’s viper venom. Coagulation was initiated with calcium chloride and clotting time (s) measured. All analyses were performed on an ACL TOP 300 (Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, Massachusetts, USA).

Coagulation Profile in Canine Plasma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen concentration, and activities of coagulation factors V (FV), VII (FVII), VIII (FVIII), IX (FIX), X (FX), von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF), antithrombin (AT), and protein C (PC) were measured in citrated plasma using a commercial turbidimetric analyzer (ACL-TOP 300, Instrumentation Laboratory, Werfen, Artarmon, Australia). The coagulation times, PT, APTT, and TT were measured using the manufacturer’s reagents. Fibrinogen concentration was measured using the manufacturer’s reagent for the Clauss method, calibrated using the manufacturer’s calibration plasma. All remaining coagulation factor activities were calibrated with canine pooled plasma, as previously described [20 (link)]. Activity of FV, FVII, and FX were measured using a modified PT test, while FVIII and FIX were measured using a modified APTT test, all using the manufacturer’s specific factor-depleted plasmas. A latex-enhanced immunoassay was used to measure vWF. Automated chromogenic assays were used to measure AT and PC. Samples were thawed in batches using a temperature-controlled water bath at 37 °C. Assay order was determined by the analyzer’s high-throughput algorithm. Quality controls were run daily. Coagulation results were compared to published reference intervals where available [21 (link)].

Comprehensive Biochemical Profiling in Hospital Admission

All biochemical procedures were done on the first day of hospital admission in a specialized biochemical laboratory of the Clinical Center Kragujevac, Serbia. Complete blood cell count (CBC) was measured using a hematology analyzer (DxH 800 Hematology Analyzer by Beckman Coulter). The biochemical parameters such as glucose, creatinine, urea, cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total and direct bilirubin, C-reactive protein (CRP), sodium, and potassium were estimated from the serum samples by using standard kits in an automatic clinical chemistry analyzer (AU680 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer by Beckman Coulter). Measurement of the vitamin D level was performed using an automated immunoassay analyzer—the Alinity i system (Abbott Laboratories, IL, USA) that utilizes the chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) principle. The level of procalcitonin in the serum was determined by the method of electrochemiluminescence, on the immunochemistry analyzer (Cobas e 411 by Roche). D dimer concentration measurement was performed on coagulation analyzer ACL-TOP 300 (Instrumentation Laboratory, Bedford, USA) employing the automated latex-enhanced particle immunoturbidimetric method.

FIX clotting activity levels were determined by one-stage activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) assay using coagulometric (turbidimetric) principle on the ACL TOP 300 (Instrumentation Laboratory). Plasma samples were mixed with hFIX-deficient plasma and the values were compared with a reference standard consisting of serial dilutions of normal human plasma in hFIX-deficient plasma. Baseline clotting activity was determined in multiple pre-treatment samples and the clotting activity post-treatment was corrected for the endogenous baseline levels.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
