A protein produced by the liver for clotting of blood.
Prothrombin Time
It measure the time required for clotting to occur after thromboplastin and calcium are added to decalcified plasma.
Prothrombin Time
Valuable in evaluating the effectiveness of COUMADINE
Prothrombin Time
It measures the time required for clotting to occur after a partial thromboplastin reagent is added to the blood plasma.
Partial Thromboplastin Time
The best single screening test for disorders in coagulation
Partial Thromboplastin Time
It is used to evaluate the effectiveness of HEPARIN
Partial Thromboplastin Time
Partial Thromboplastin Time Normal Range
60-70 sec
Prothrombin Time Normal range is
11-16 sec
Most specific test to evaluate the effectiveness of Heparin
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT)
Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) Normal range:
30-45sec
An indicator of renal function
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)
Is the most cardiac specific enzyme
CREATININE PHOSPHOKINASE (CK-MB)
It is an accurate indicator of myocardial damage.
CREATININE PHOSPHOKINASE (CK-MB)
the most sensitive indicator of myocardial damage
LACTIC DEHYDROGENASE 1
Valuable in detecting “SILENT MI” because it remains elevate for a long period of time
HYDROXYBUTYRATE DEHYDROGENASE
Most specific test to detect MI
CARDIAC TROPONIN
troponin that Modulates the contractile state
Troponin I
troponin that Binds calcium
Troponin C
Is sensitive as CK MB for the detection of myocardial injury above 0.ng/ml indicate MI.
Troponin T
Is a low molecular weight heme protein found in cardiac and skeletal muscle.
MYOGLOBIN
