Lab ranges

6 entries

Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) — lab reference

Reagent-specific. Heparin monitoring may use different targets or anti-Xa.

D-dimer — lab reference

Age-adjusted and assay-specific diagnostic strategies may apply. Not a stand-alone thrombosis diagnosis.

Fibrinogen — lab reference

Acute-phase reactant; functional and antigenic assays differ.

INR — lab reference

Normal range only. Warfarin therapeutic targets are indication-specific.

Prothrombin time (PT) — lab reference

Reagent-specific. Ask your clinician to read this result with INR, liver function, vitamin K, and anticoagulants.

Thrombin time — lab reference

Reagent-specific; affected by heparin, direct thrombin inhibitors, and fibrinogen abnormalities.
