Document Summary
Time needed to clot plasma after addition of thrombin and ca2+ Length of time is proportional to the amount of functional fibrinogen. This test is meant to test fibrinogen, however, when tct is prolonged longer than. 15-20s, before considering diminished or abnormal fibrinogen, we must exclude the presence of heparin, as you recall heparin enhances activity of antithrombin to inhibit thrombin, therefore, tct is used to determine if heparin is present when. Ptt is prolong before considering diminished or abnormal fibrinogen. Is a modified tct is to estimate the functional fibrinogen level, so it"s a quantitative assay of fibrinogen. Based on standard curve using dilutions of a known fibrinogen. Just like during tct, you measure the time needed to . Prolonged time indicated deficient or defective fibrinogen. Prolonged with quantitative deficiencies or qualitative abnormalities of fibrinogen. La is nonspecific inhibitors, the immunoglobulin, igg immunoglobins directed against phospholipid protein complexes, therefore they prolong phospholipid dependent ptt reaction.
