Coagulation Factor Analysis in Patients on Long-Term Anticoagulation

Herbert A Perkins, Robert L Biben
PMCID: PMC1501381  PMID: 5451608

Abstract

Ninety studies on 58 patients undergoing chronic warfarin therapy included Quick prothrombin times, partial thromboplastin times, thromboplastin generation tests and assays for clotting factors II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and XII. The results indicate no benefit from supplementation of the Quick tests by any of these other procedures. It is suggested that the Quick test uniformly performed, using a standard uniform thromboplastin, would be the procedure of choice.
