Coagulation disorders

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, thrombosing, and platelet disorders.

Our serotonin release assay is the gold standard diagnostic test for detecting clinically relevant (platelet-activating) heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) antibodies.

Thrombophilia testing Thrombophilia testing

Because of the variety of TMA disorders and different treatment options for each, prompt and accurate diagnosis can significantly impact a patient’s outcome.

An algorithmic and cost-effective testing method

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

Preparation of Platelet-Poor Plasma for Special Coagulation Testing

Accurate coagulation testing starts with proper specimen preparation. Even small pre-analytic errors, such as underfilled tubes, hemolysis, or improper centrifugation, can compromise results and patient care.
