practice and research
A patient-centered, value-based approach to testing
Our Special Coagulation Laboratory has been at the forefront of patient-centered and value-based diagnostic laboratory testing, research, and patient management for nearly 90 years. Led by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, the laboratory offers a broad repertoire of coagulation tests covering a wide spectrum of bleeding and thrombosis disorders.

An algorithmic and cost-effective
way of testing
Coagulation-focused algorithms developed collaboratively among physicians, pathologists, laboratorians, and genetic counselors are available. These algorithms recommend approaches for diagnosis of specific diseases and assist in treatment and monitoring of patient care. In addition, they can guide proper and cost-effective test utilization (e.g., activated protein C resistance testing with reflex to factor V Leiden analysis).

Coagulation NGS Testing
Rajiv Pruthi, M.B.B.S., gives an overview of the new coagulation NGS testing. He discusses when this testing should be ordered, how this testing compares to previous testing approaches, and what clinical action can be taken due to the results of this testing.

PACE / State of CA / State of FL
In this month's "Virtual Lecture," Anand Padmanabhan provides a general overview and science in the field related to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), and monoclonal gammopathy of thrombotic significance (MGTS), and focuses on impacts related to diagnosis for anti-platelet factor 4-mediated thrombotic syndromes.
