Q

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) Laboratory

A

PT - prolonged (factor consumption)
APTT - prolonged (factor consumption)
FSP/D-Dimer - fibrinolysis (positive)
TT - prolonged (factor consumption & increased FSP)
Fibrin monomer - positive
Abnormal ELT (Euglobulin Lysis Time) - fibrinolysis
Fragments on PBS (RBC frags on smear)

Q

Primary Fibrinolysis Laboratory Testing

A

PT - prolonged
APTT - prolonged
