Anti-factor Xa as the preferred assay to monitor heparin for the treatment of pulmonary embolism
CONCLUSION: We observed a low incidence of recurrent thromboembolism or PE-associated mortality utilizing an antiXa titrated UFH protocol. The use of an antiXa based heparin assay to guide heparin dosing and monitoring allows for timely and sustained therapeutic anticoagulation for treatment of PE.PMID:37989523 | DOI:10.1111/ijlh.14207 (Source: International Journal of Laboratory Hematology)

International council for standardisation in haematology recommendations on fibrinogen assays, thrombin clotting time and related tests in the investigation of bleeding disorders
Int J Lab Hematol. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1111/ijlh.14201. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis guidance was prepared on behalf of the International Council for Standardisation in Haematology (ICSH) by an international working group of clinicians and scientists. The document focuses on tests and assays used for the assessment of fibrinogen function, particularly in the scenario of bleeding disorders. Thrombin clotting time (TT) is used as a screening test in some laboratories and also has some utility when direct anticoagulants are in use. The Clauss fibrinogen assay remains the method of choice for the assessment of fibrinoge...

Reference intervals and biological variation in parameters of the thrombin generation test in healthy individuals
CONCLUSION: For TGT on PPP and PRP the RIs developed on our population for Peak and ETP parameters can be used. Time parameters: Lagtime and ttPeak, min with II < 0.6, require monitoring over time with RCV calculation.PMID:37985000 | DOI:10.1111/ijlh.14205 (Source: International Journal of Laboratory Hematology)

Neutrophil Reactivity Intensity and misclassification of immature granulocytes
CONCLUSION: Both NEUT-RI and the internal Sysmex flag "Abnormal WBC Scattergram" work well to identify cases of IG% misclassification. However, in our setting NEUT-RI ≥56 FI had no meaningful additional predictive capacity to identify misclassifications beyond our current smear rules.PMID:37985128 | DOI:10.1111/ijlh.14204 (Source: International Journal of Laboratory Hematology)

Platelet indices and angiogenesis markers in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
CONCLUSION: Platelet indices can be potentially applied as additional tools for the diagnosis and management of HDP. Activated platelets may act as an extra source of sFlt-1 in PE.PMID:37953406 | DOI:10.1111/ijlh.14202 (Source: International Journal of Laboratory Hematology)
