METHODS FOR A GLOBAL ASSAY OF COAGULATION AND FIBRINOLYSIS

摘要

The present disclosure concerns methods of analyzing both clot formation and fibrinolysis in a sample, preferably simultaneously. In certain embodiments, the methods may comprise adding a small amount of at least one activator of coagulation and at least one activator of fibrinolysis to a sample and analyzing the sample for kinetic parameters related to clot formation and fibrinolysis. In another embodiment, the methods may comprise analyzing a sample from a subject for clot formation and fibrinolysis and detecting or diagnosing a disease or condition and/or applying information obtained from analyzing clot formation and fibrinolysis to determine a treatment for a medical condition of the subject.
