81281-8
LaboratoryHeparin dose response panel - Blood
Definition
This panel contains terms to measure the heparin dose response that assesses the patient's in-vitro response to known concentrations of heparin by measuring the extension of the kaolin activated clotting over baseline in the presence of two known concentrations of unfractionated heparin. The information from the heparin dose response is used to predict the concentration of heparin required to prolong the patient's ACT to the target level for a particular procedure.
