A Simple and Rapid Laboratory Method for Determination of Haemostasis Potential in Plasma

To offer a suitable method for use in routine laboratories and research work, some modifications were made in the assay of overall haemostatsis potential (OHP) we developed earlier. Thrombin in a decreased dose with or without tissue-type plasminogen activator was added to plasma for initiation of fibrinogen clotting. Areas under two fibrin-aggregation curves i.e., above-mentioned OHP and overall coagulation potential (OCP) were thus created. A...
